Hair Algae problem....

[Rsandry]

Hi all,
Need some advice.. I have a new setup, running about 3-4 weeks now and what started as a small amount of hair algae has now grown to crazy levels... what is the best approach to get this under control? So far only a Kole Tang and Maroon Clown in the tank (and some turbo snails & 2 red legged hermits).

Peroxide will make it melt away!
But sounds like you have some nutrients in there which is making the algae very happy
What is your no3 and po4?
Are you dosing anything (elements) they also love iron

Manual removal and start a blob of chaeto in your sump.
