I have a SPS dominant tank which has grow out with hair algae. I did 25% water change and keeping a starry doesn’t seem to help. Any suggestions?
 
How bad is it? Sometimes it starts to grow on my Zoas but I just take a pair of tweezers and pull it out.
 
I would take a look at what you're doing for nutrient export first and see if there is an area for improvement. You can also manually remove the algae after you get your parameters under control. If the algae in question is actually bryopsis, you can use fluconazole to get rid of it, worked great for me.
