GREEN HAIR ALGAE any help to remove will be appreciated

The fastest and most efficient way to get rid of the dreaded GHA (or any pest algae, for that matter) is to go to Home Depot and buy some wire brushes.

When you get home, fill up a bucket with some RO water and start scrubbing those rocks. Get every chunk of algae off and rinse the rocks in the bucket when you're done.

Rinse and repeat!

I'm guessing you haven't vacuumed the sand much? I would start with that when you do your next water change, along with pulling out all the hair algae.
