I will get a sea hare. They are very good hair algae eaters. I got mine clean my 90G within a week. But it doesn't eat any other algae such as red slim. So may be you can sell it or bring it back to the store after he done his job. Cheers.

Ok, never fun. I was going to point you to a great write up my Myka, but couldn't find the thread anymore.
Anyway I battled it for 2 years (ask Kelly & I think you saw my tank there once). I am finally getting it under control, but there is still some battle. First thing to do is deal with the source of the problem, usually phosphates. Test your water & post results here. The algae will prob help the test to show zero, that doesn't mean there is none. Are you using RODI water? From a store or your own unit? Next, flow, got enough? How often are you changing water? (When mine was really bad I was doing 2 10 gallon changes twice a week while scrubbing rock) Lighting, what type & when were bulbs last changed? How long is your lighting period? Stocking, what is in the tank? everything accounted for?(no missing fish or large creatures?) Also get a phosban reactor & use it. Got a sump? (If I remember right you do) get cheato in it. Thats what I can think about right now. I am sure someone else will chime in.
