I have a fluval 13 gal evo for 5 months and it has some standard LPS and softy corals- went away for a week vacation and came back to even more GHA. Tomorrow will manually removing it during weekly 3+ gal water change.

I also dropped my AI Prime lighting down starting tomorrow to @ 40%UV, V, RB, B, 30% CW for 8 hrs/day (should I try lights off a few days?). I don't want to affect my corals but need to knock down this GHA. Also reducing feeding of four fish to once a day (evening only). Let me know if this is on the right track to get rid of GHA. I do have CUC of blue legged hermits, Tuxedo urchin, various snails to munch on it but its too long to make a dent. I dont want to starve the CuC either.
 
Have you tested your phosphates with anything other than API?

Get the Hanna phosphate checker and the Salifert nitrate test kit.

It's most likely high phosphates when it comes to GHA, but you have to test, first.
