Seachem test kit for phosphates is notoriously inaccurate.
get an Elos low range phosphate kit.
switch to HC GFO and change weekly.
add a carbon source such as vinegar/vodka
Large weekly water changes of 30%.
If you truly have Bryopsis then in addition to all those nutrient exporting, you'll need to try one of these three methods:
1)Using only Kent's Tech M Mag, raise you mag 100 per day until you reach 1800, and maintain it there for a month. Please either find Dave's thread (acroholic) or pm him for specific instructions.
2)Take you rock out and wash with 3% H2O2 for five minutes. I have a thread on here somewhere that I can point you to.
3) pray

I treated all rock in sections removing 1/3 each week. I tried hard to avoid SPS, but some was too close to avoid. no long lasting effects, however. Zoa's had no effect at all.....I also did my overflow in week 4.

If it is truly Bryopsis, Kent Tech M will quite likely take it out. I went the route twice and both times it literally evaporated the bryopsis within a week. I never even needed to get my MG to 1800. It peaked at like 1500 and by then it was all dead.
Brought it back down slowly through water changes and had been keeping my MG up to a normal level by adding Tech M to my change water before putting it in. Now using Seachem salt my MG is fine and I haven't had to add any Tech M for +1yr.
