You did not list list your alkalinity, which is the most important parameter. Low alkalinity is an algae enabler, and since you don't drip kalk or add a daily two part solution, I'll bet money that you have low alk. I would also add a phosban reactor, and give serious consideration to upgrading your skimmer.

You have a phosphate problem from excess nutrients. Phosphate tests (most of them anyway) are worthless because they only measure inorganic and not organic phosphates.
