I would bring the Mag up to 1500 and keep it there for a couple months. Manually harvest the algae as well. If you don't notice a decline in the algae then you might want to try new bulbs with a colour temp of 15k to 20k. I like Radiums the best.
Do you use RO water for the tank make up water? If so, how old are the filters? Urchins are very effective herbivores but they can be limited to where they can get to due to there shell. A Sea Hare might be an effective option as well. Cheers, Tim

You could even run the Mg as hi as 1600 ... I'm doing this today, as a matter of fact
Please read the whole thread first as there are other ideas, and other stuff to know too, including how fast to raise the Mg  From Myka's guide Get rid of Hair Algae and other Nuisance Algae ... Ok, you've tried everything...it's been a few months, and you're still brush cutting that HA. Now it's time for the big guns. If you have the Bryopsis type of HA (it's feathery unlike Derbesia which is grassy or like a green cotton ball), then this will work. If you have Derbesia, this won't work. Get yourself some Kent brand liquid magnesium. The Kent brand works best. It's cheap, don't worry.  Pump up your magnesium to 1600 ppm. ...
