So I been battling Hair Algae for a while in my tank. It is getting increasingly frustrating. My tank has been up and running for over a year and a half. I have a 45 gallon CVUE tank. I have tried everything. I run a reactor to keep my phosphates down. I have a refuge in the back with Chaeto growing. I manually pull the hair algae out on a daily basis. My cuc crew I have 4 urchins that wont touch the stuff. My hermit crabs dont touch it. Basically anything I add to my tank just doesnt work. Someone suggested I try dropping in some emerald crabs and that they may be able to remove the problem. I was curious if anyone has success using emerald crabs to control hair algae or has something that would be good in removing it from my tank. I appreciate any input. I didnt post my parameters because I want this to be just a discussion for a tank mate that can help remove it.
