Hi, Ive had a 25gal JBJ AIO running for about 4 years now and recently just added some corals and a rose BTA but cant seem to get rid of the nuisance green hair algae. Everything else doesn't seem to mind it so much tho. Any Advice?

Manually pull as much GHA as you can each day. It is a chore, but it will pay off in the long run. Clean your crushed coral and do your water changes weekly. Nutrients are up just enough to feed the GHA. You can introduce a couple of Tuxedo Urchins to help munch down some of the greenery and add some cool inhabitants at the same time.

Also:

As mentioned above, check your PO4 level and keep it around .03
Check your NO3 and keep that fairly low as well.
