I'll add another vote to ditching the cannister. Try a 3 day blackout... no lights at all and then actinics only on the 4th back to regular lighting on the 5th.

I had a mass break out when I first started with a 65gal and a canister filter. I had to clean out the filter weekly, used a high quality carbon and a phos remover. I then started Coral Snow and a UV and with in a week I noticed a big reduction of ALL algea. Just my 2 cents.
