Do a 15% water change, pick off all the hair algae with your hands as possible, add chemi-pure elite and invest in some turbo snails. Then just be patient and continue to monitor phosphate levels.
Your nitrate reads 0 probably because the hairalgae has binded them just pull out what you can with fingers each day do water changes itll get under control might take lil while but itll happen no chemicals
Common phosphate removers such as phosban and chemi-pure elite arent much of a chemical. I can only speak for chemipure elite though because that's what I've always used and the results have been fantastic.
