do yourself huge favour and read up on this before you start messing with it.
hair algae can take over your entire tank if you are not careful about how you manually remove it.

When you pull the main clump off of a rock, you send spores out all over the place that can become a new prolific growth.


from the sounds of your water changes, I would say that you're problem might be related to poor flow around your rocks, leaving sand and all the fun stuff in it (like phosphates) accumulate on your rocks which makes for a cafeteria line up for your problem algaes...

If your flow is good and not allowing this to happen

You might try adding a chemipure elite (the larger size) and turning the lights out completely for for a few days too see if that does the trick.

Your mushrooms and gsp won't mind at all.
