I had battled nuisance hair algae of all types and colors, red, green, blue for over a year... It got to the point where I was going to throw in the towel. I was so frustrated nothing I did made it go away. I kept at it, and over the course of 2-3 painful high maintenance months of hand pruning, GFO changing, heavy water changes I eventually gotten it down to an amount where I can keep under control with a few turbo snails. Nothing feels better than looking at the rock now and seeing it being clean and pristine knowing a year a ago it was a hair algae nest. There's always a source to the problem, but there may not be a single solution, I found that out the hard way.
