Frustrated with Hair Algae

[justinl]

can you cut the lights for a week without any harm to other stuff? if not a week, then try three days a week with no lights until the crap goes away. how long is your current photoperiod?

Seahares do a better job on hair algae than fish IME. Just keep them away from powerheads.

But yeah, look for the cause instead of focusing mainly on the symptom. What are your water parameters? High nutrients feed hair algae.
