Ever since my tang was eaten by my carpet nem, I see hair algae slowely creeping back anto the rock. How can I stop this (aside from buying a new tang)?

Macro algaes, feed less, lighten your bioload, basically the normal balancing of nutrient import and export.

Ya I thought the obvious would be the answer : ) I feed every other day, 3 chromis, 2 clowns, and a coral beauty. Fuge full of chaeto. Maybe I should split the chaeto ?

It might be helpful to do some nitrate and phosphate tests to see where you stand on nutrient levels. If you have a good skimmer, carbon dosing would be a great solution for nitrate issues. If you have elevated levels of phosphate, a GFO reactor would be good to handle that issue.

I think that I may install a reactor, I hae one on the tank downstairs, but it doesnt seem to do much to HA in that tank, I will run some tests tonight and see what may be up. I did a 10% WC the other day, hopefully that will slow it down.
