My setup is very similar to yours, except I have more light.

I had a bout with hair algae too, before I added more plants. I just
kept pulling it off and I finally got rid of it. Then I got BGA (a
real scourge) and now some minor BBA.

Do you add PO4 or traces? How much CO2 do you use, quite a bit based
on your PH and KH?

I've seen Florida Flag fish recommended for HA or a blackout if it's
really bad.


Platies are also noted to eat hair algae, as well as a similar LB but
Im bot sure of its name, it looks like a platy


Are you thinking of mollies? They eat some algae if I am not mistaken. Good
luck and later!

, BUT is a rare find.
I have one baby platy in the Tank with the problem and he eats the HA
and BA.
