Coral Dipping?

I've tried chaeto, a UV sterilizer, huge water changes, blackout periods, Chemi-pure elite, Purigen, pulling the crap out by hand, removing the rocks one by one and brushing the algae off...
...The algae always comes right back with a vengeance. :grumble:

As for the Marine SAT, I think I will order it and give it a shot.

I've seen a lot of people say chaeto did not work for them but a pic of their fuge shows a tiny little piece of chaeto and a tiny little light next to it. I have 2G fuge packed with a big bunch chaeto and 2 strong lights an inch over the chaeto. I have to trim the chaeto back all the time. My nitrates and phosphates (algae nutrients) are consistently at zero.

My chaeto was about baseball-sized. I stuffed it in the back compartment of the biocube (where the bio-balls had been) with a little submersible light. It wasn't the best set-up and that's probably why it didn't work out...
 
I went through a whole bottle of Marine SAT in my 46 and it didn't do anything.
Plus all the other stuff you tried and still nothing.
What finally seemed to work was Algae Fix Marine, available at your LFS.
