I’m at my wits end trying to get rid of the hair algae in our tank. I’m going to ask if anyone has any ideas on what to do to help. Here are the things I’ve done:
1. Carbon reactor with Rox carbon.
2. GFO reactor changed every 6 weeks.
3. Installed new lights two months ago.
4. Removed filter sock from sump.
5. Removed bubble trap from sump.
6. Weekly water changes of 15%.
7. Added 10 Mexican Turbo snails.
8. Added 50 Blue Legged Hermit Crabs
9. Added a sea hare.
10. Pick it down as much as possible.
So does anyone have any other ideas?

Hello! My goodness you’re trying everything! You should come back and spend more time in Reef Sanctuary – take advantage of a lot of advice. Here’s a thread by shazbah (Sharon). She’s been fighting the same algae battle that you folks are:
