IME, snails do a better job of cleaning up algae than hermits do. I'd get a few different types of snails and see if they help at all.

Also be sure to drain the pack juice from the thawed frozen food. This is a source of phosphate. Your phosphate reading might be zero because the algae is using all of it up.
