Hair algea how to get rid ???

hope this helps....
I started to get hair algae, but since I started a macro fuge, it has been receding.

Myka put together a great step by step on this

I got a seahare and it worked well, but then my anemone ate him

I read Myka's how-to, and was wondering which would be more beneficial to start with, a fuge or a phosban reactor. I currently have neither.

either or, your results may vary.

I done both, emptied out the back of bio cube 29. Put lights on it with some cheato, and ran a Phosban, after tooth brushing my rocks and doing weekly water changes. Tried sea hare, he crawled in the sump and died. lawnmower blennie got eaten by anemone. It's been an on going battle. Don't give up you must be diligent. slack for a week or 2 and it back in full force. I also use RO/DI water. I got the LR from a friend who gave me the prob to begin with, been a nightmare ever since.
Good luck .

depending on what your keeping in your tank, any tang will clean it up in a flash. just based on your tank size keep them to no more than 2-3 fish

Yes I also have a small Tomini tang in my tank. Does not touch the hair algae. I'm sure I will have to move it once he out grows the 29.

Any tang except mine. I have a hippo, naso and yellow tang. I even have a foxface. Do you think any of them will touch it. Noooooooo, they're all too spoiled with their fancy pellet and flake food.
