Default Green Dust Algae ODYSSEY

Well my friends, it's a:
90 gal tank.
160 watts - 10 hours
UV Filter "BIG twister"
PO 0.5 mg/lt
RO water
NO3 0.1ppm
CO2 injected 2 bubbles/sec.
Substrate was ECO complete
Regularly used Diatom powder in my Magnum (this helps but not enough)
And the green dust algae still there no matter water changes.
Actually I could have started a Green DYE business.

Solution
Drained the whole thing and washed with CLOROX
Yes we cleaned even the smallest item and then start again.
We don't have GDA anymore...

Now I think I have Cyano Bacteria or BGA.
It looks similar to my GDA but this one SMELL and It's not like the GREEN DYE or dusty.
So you see, I think I'm going back at my 56 years to the University and search for a Biology degree and see if I can find a solution. Or turn into HULK and enjoy it.
