Green algae problem and coral bleaching

[Whiteydenewf]

So this is my son’s tank. Every week it is a fight to control the hair algae. He currently has a clown, peppermint shrimp, skunk cleaner shrimp, Halloween hermit crab, emerald crab, a couple astrea snails, 2 turban snails, 2 bumblebee snails, 4 margarita snails, and a cowrie snail.

Every week we do water changes. Phosphates are good. Nitrates are good. Every month we vacuum the back of the tank and change up the carbon and GfO. During water changes we suction the sand to remove waste. And I pinch as much of the hair algae as possible to reduce growth. But every week the darn stuff keeps coming back. We use the product Vibrant weekly as directed. Saltwater is at 33ppm.

He’s had this tank for 2 years and we have solved problems through this site’s forums, but I’m going crazy. Can anyone throw out some suggestions?

thanks
