Have you thought of getting a Sea Hare.
For about $20 they do a great job on hair algae.

I'm currently battling byropsis as well. Stuff grows sooo fast! I dose regularily with mag, but I'm going to go buy some KENT stuff, see if it works.

Started dosing w/ Kent Tech M magnesium tonight. Before I added it, Magnesium was 1340ppm. I added 100 mL of mag supplement. I'll check it tommorow and see how much adjustment it made. The bottle says 1mL/gal will raise it 18.3 ppm/day. Total tank volume is 100 gallons.

The magnesium seems to be working. I'm keeping it at 1750ppm and the bryopsis is turning yellowish/brown, and just doesnt look healthy. Havent seen any Ill effects on any of the inhabitants or corals and have been treating for 5 days.
