Is this GHA again or something else? Best CUC options?

I beat GHA (or so I think) months back with Reef Flux. I let my nutrients get out of control again and I think I am right back to the start of GHA again or some other nuisance algae. I am currently working on lowering my nutrients (lowered PO4 from 0.76 to 0.19 over the coarse of a few weeks as well as NO3 from 38 to 18). Still working on getting the PO4 closer to 0.1 and NO3 around 10. I don't want to go much lower than this for the sake of trying SPS frags again in the near future and reading a lot more that people have good results with a big of nutrients vs bottomed out.

Anyway the video is listed below. My question is what CUC would you recommend to help this nuisance algae and how many should I get? My tank is a 6 ft x2 ft tank. I really do not want to resort to chemicals again and manual removal is difficult in my tank. I also start skimming a little more wet.

Reef safe urchins (black rock, and pincushion) and snails: Astreas, Ninjas, Ceriths (both dwarf & regular), Trochus, avoid Turbos most are from Pacific coast of Mexico and are suited to colder waters.
