Nitrates and Phosphates. Phosphates can be eliminated with the Phosban reactor you've already considered. Although you can't measure much nitrate, that is likely because all the algae is consuming it.

Maximize your skimmer to eliminate the N before it becomes nitrate. Use a refugium to grow macroalgae in a place where you can easily harvest it.

Manually remove as much hair algae as you can and be patient.
