I have a hair algae that nothing will eat all over my tank (even on snails).
Sally lightfoot, emerald crab, blue legs, scarlets, astrea, red legs, yellow

brush to remove but it will grow back. *I use phosphate remover but not all
the time. *I change 4 (5-6) gal buckets of water a month. Have wetdry using
sock. *Have Berlin skimmer too. *75 g tank up and running since nov. 07. *My
live rock is old but was clean when I just started this back up after a
house remodel. rock was in barrel for 8 months.
I was thinking about placing LR in a grey trashcan with the cover on it for
a good month with a pump to recirculate the water to kill it.
ANY IDEAS?? *Tanks.
Best idea is to be patient. *I had some nasty algae issues myself, and
still see some of it growing on the snail and whatnot...but as the tank
has been up and running a little longer, it's become less and less of an
issue. *I think I hit around 8 or 9 months when I really noticed the
drop off in terms of algae production.

I love woot.com and techbargains.com
I would rather have a nasty case of hair algae than the ****ing crotch
crickets that I got from screwing KurtG. Man do those ****ers
itch..........As for your algae problem, just dump a gal of chlorox
inthe tank and that will fix any algae problem in a matter of minutes.
Works for me and its what these dickheads recomend most times anyhow.
Big Habeeb the butthole licker anfd fart sucker does not have a clue.
He is just a wanna be rag head.
