Big water change and protein skimmer will help some. Definitely scrape and manually remove as much as you can physically picking it off the rocks for the hair algae. Diatoms will most the time run its course as long as your using rodi water and not adding silicates back to the water which is its food source. As far as CUC goes nassarius snails to agitate the sandbed and eat leftover food etc. turbo snails like the mexican turbo will eat the hair algae really well. Ceriths, trochus, astreas will eat alot of various micro algaes and diatoms. Fighting conchs will also eat diatoms and stir the sandbed. I’m a fan of snail only CUC so you dont have to worry about crabs eating them. Just some thoughts if you didn’t want to completely reboot. Depending on livestock (coral in particular) if they dont need light you could kill it for a few days as well. Goodluck
