I would yank the halide the PC lights will do the job for the softies. your xenia and anthelia need quite a bit of flow they like that my xenia was doing ok till I moved it to a much higher flow area and it has doubled in size in a month. Also if you can get to the cause of the Hair algea then things in your tank will be a bit happier.
