HI Christy, ok make me jealous, no hair algae!!!! I have a good skimmer and it is working great. I have refungium with lots of calerpa(sp?) and a sump, neither of them have any hair algae. There is even 12 hr of light above them. I have 2 emerald crabs and some other crabs. Ithink I need more emeralds (4) and maybe another sally light foot to replace the one that died. Iam trying to get the alk up and the test kit for pH shows it is stable at 8. I think I need you guys up for the visual inspection if we can work something out.
