Nice stringy dinos. Just for our information, what was the blackout length and what was the peroxide dosing regimen (dose per tank volume, frequency, how long)?
Water params? Nitrates & Phosphates especially.

You're doing the right thing. Manual removal of the vast majority is important for whatever steps come next.

edit:
Also, this is my own personal curiosity. Most everyone's dinos seem to look less bad just as lights come on, and at their worst after several hours of full lights, but I haven't actually observed a system with a big stringy mess, and how it changes through a day.
Do you have pics right at lights on, vs afternoon full light?
