We added some red reef hermits to our tank when hair algae broke out, they were really good at keeping in check (and fun to watch too!). We paid about 3.50 each for them?
Our tank is 55 gallon, not sure how many you'd need depending on size ... hopefully you'll keep them in your new tank, too, when you switch over
Also, check your phosphate levels - phosphate and too much light both contribute to algae issues.
