I understand your pain on the hair algae when I had my small tank up and running I had a battle to keep it under control while it never killed any coral it did promote a lot of algae growth making the tank look ugly.

Hopefully things continue to go better for you also I found out from a friend that he keeps 3 electric blue hermits in his tank 2 of them eat the hair algae like there is no tomorrow while the third sifts the sandbed might be an option worth looking at.

wow, great turn around and recovery Mindy! Many people would have either thrown in the towel or done way too much too quickly to try to "fix" their tank resulting in a much more worser tank. Your course corrections were much more precise and methodical. Like a BOSS
