 You can probably cut back on the water changes since the algae is growing so well, it will be absorbing all the nutrients that are leaching out anyway, and you're removing it with your scissors. EDIT: Ooops, michika beat me to it. Bigger water changes do help if you're dealing with high nutrients in the water column, but your readings are all low, so the algae is eating it up well for you.

Thanks for all the tips, i will go back to weekly 10% changes and just watch my garden grow.....well, make that die lol. I keep a detailed journal so it will be interesting to see how long this goes on for.

I found photos to be most helpful in tracking the progress. Turning the rocks every once and awhile helps quite a bit.

HA is caused from phosphates and overfeeding, i had the same thing happen to me. It was because i was using tap water.. Also there maybe phosphates in ur rock depending if your LFS store the rock in Tap water. And even if they did im sure they dont have light bleaming on the rock causing growth.
Turbo snails are the way to go. but really its a waiting game of water changes and time.
