Try some chaettomorphia with some light flow and good lighting 10-12hrs per day. Chaetto grows if you have phosphates like weeds.

how to reduce phosphates?it is 0.5 mg/l

[Jaffer Ali]

as Wichedfish said use chaettomorphia in refugium it will lower the phosphates for a fast result you can also use a phosphate reactor , or phosphate removal media such as Seachem PhosGuard
