FYI, the algae that I have is caused by increased levels of Silicate in the water. I got lazy and din't change my DI filter for a few months and i had an outbreak.

Try changing your filters on your RO more frequently, and doing massive water changes. As the algae breaks down, most tangs will eat it up. Other than that, you will need to manually extract it.
