Hair algae is a symptom not the problem... you have high nutrient production (your tests will read low because the algae is eating it all.) You should look at other ways of reducing your nitrates (Macro algae in the sump with a light, cutting down the amount of extra food that is being fed, do more water changes, and/or use a reactor method like de-nitrate) After you have reduced the amount of nitrates available to the hair algae your CUC should be able to take care of the rest.

I'm using RODI water through my Aqua FX Baracuda: http://www.aquariumwaterfilters.com/...category_id=12
I am also using a TLF 150 reactor with bio pellets. I don't feed to often, every couple days. I am bad about water changes but have done a few this week already. I do have a ball of cheato in there that has not really grown in size in the 4 weeks it was in there. Bioload in a RSM250 is: 2 bangaii cards 2 perc clowns 1 6 line wrasse 1 foxface

your cheato wont grow much if it all if your running bio pellets. how long have you been running the pellets? the cheato and pellets are in direct competion for the same nutrients

if your pellets are not tumbling hard then they dump a slime into your tank and you get a huge ha outbreaki had this happen to me too. take your reactor off line and clean it well, rinse the pellets, clean the pump and hoses good, when you get it started again make sure they tumble hard
