I battled horrendous hair algae for at least 6 months. I was doing religious manual pruning. I'll admit my monthly water changes probably weren't enough. I reduced my feeding and kept up with the manual removal. Talking wire brushes and tweezers for hours each week. I then dosed vibrant once and I swear in about 24 hours the difference was unreal. I've done a weekly dose for a month now and I'm back to spoiling my fish with the food and I actually haven't got a single patch of algae anymore. At times I could barely see my rock it was so bad. Perhaps things reached some magical equilibrium but the timing makes that very unlikely. I'm now dosing weekly but at a much smaller amount.
