I've just had the same problem with my 29gal.

Changes I made--

1. Got myself an algea blenny.
2. Replaced the lights in my powercompact hood.
3. Water changes which included BUYING NEW SALT MIX. lol.
4. Added 10 hermit crabs, I don't use snails I'm sick of flipping them over.
5. Got a Peppermint shrimp.
6. Rearranged powerheads for what seems to be the best flow.
7. Changed my filters every 2 weeks for 2 months.
I use a Marineland 350b on my 29gal and the filter is rated for a 75gal. So thats alot of extra water movement.

Now everytime I was doing a water change I tryed to haul out as much of the algea I could. It's seriously at 1/4 of the level it was in my tank now and seems to be on the run. Anything that is left is slowly dying off. It's actually great to see some of my live rock in areas again. I consider myself winning the battle now. There's less and less everyday.
