Default Green Hair Problem

I seem to have a forest of Green Hair algae that has taken over my LR. I have been pulling it out by the pound and getting tired of this problem fast. Any other ideas to help rid this algae. My skimmer is a sea clone because I have not been able to save up for a real skimmer, but I have managed to get it to pull out a cup worth a week which is good for a seaclone. I use RO/DI from safeway and vacuum the CC every other water change which is 5-10% weekly. Any cleanup crew known to eat hair algae? Whats the best way to take out LR for a good brushing to try get all the hair off?

Thanks for any advice.

Marcus
