So I was fighting hair algae for almost a year. Trying feed minimum, water changes every 5-7 day, nothing, every two week or so I’d pull as much algae out by hand and still nothing. It just comes back time and time again. This is all going on in a 5 tank frag system. One day i put into one of the tank a lawnmower blennys, I think nothing of it, then a week later I realized I have 0 algae in one of my tanks. So I tryed putting him in a different tank, and what do you know after 10 days that tank was spotless too! So I went right to the LFS and bought 5 more put one in each tank and now they are alll spotless, every rock nad frag plug. Just wanted to share because I would imagine someone else on here is having hair algae issues
