Purple turf algae outbreak

My tank has been slowly overtaken by a purple turf like algae. My nitrates are <5ppm and no detectable phosphates. I have an algae blenny, a foxface, and a blue tang but none seem to be eating it. The only thing that I can think of that might be causing it to grow is that I have a TON of light. 500 watts of HQI over a 40 gallon breeder! The sps love it but so does the algae.

Any suggestions anyone?
