Need Suggestions for dealing with Hair Algae

I'm starting to have a hair algae problem in my 65g and I want to attack it before it really gets a stronghold. I have an api reef test kit and I'm not getting any readings of phosphate on it. Additionally I've had my LFS check for phosphates several times and readings are always 0. Flow in the tank is 400gph through the sump/refugium return pump along with a koralia 3 and a koralia 1 in the display. Lighting is from a brand new power compact fixture. I need suggestions on fighting this common battle. What works? I've heard of...
manually pulling it off and siphoning it out
emerald crabs
sea hares
lawnmower blennies
reducing photo period
GFO
Is it common to have HA but no detectable phosphates? I'm buying RO/DI for topoffs.
