Stringy thin hair algae 10v Iwagumi

This algae started off as a little bit on my plants and now is taking over the tank, I inject co2 and use high light and APT ferts daily. I use
What is this and how do I get rid of
0 nitrite
0 ammonia
Ph 7-7.2
0-5ppm nitrate and I can’t tell my phosphate so ig 0? It’s hard to tell none of the colors matches

My best guess here is you are dosing way to much fertilizer. I am not familiar with APT. I have done multiple planted tanks for about 23 years. I ran one high tech tank with pressurized co2 for a decade. I fertilized this once a week using Tropica fertilizer and made sure I did at leat a 50% water change every week. Today Tropica makes two liquid ferts. http://tropica.com/en/ Tropica is one of the worlds leading producers of aquatic plants.

What is causing your algae is an imbalance between the ferts/lights/Co2. Algae thrives on such imbalances.

Personally, I think daily ferts are a little too much. But for a high-tech that might be the better way
