Can you throw up a pic under whites?

The guys and gals with this knowledge will be able to identify quicker
 
Dosing schedule, water para?
 
It looks like some grazer could do a good job here :)
Maybe try a sea urchin.

Even though your nutrients are "undetectable", there's enough in the water for this to grow pretty quickly it seems (the rate of production and consumption of nutrients is net zero, or your test kit may be out of whack).

I would suggest doing small water changes more frequently over the next few weeks and running some chemipure blue for a few hours every day. You don't want to shock your system, so be patient!
 
Could try vibrant i have seen great results with it prior
