I have been battling what has been diagnosed as hair algae from my
local fish store, for several months now.

Always difficult to recommend a treatment as there are so
many variables. I had hair/thread algae for a week or two but it
eventually died off of it's own accord. if it persists however this
is what I would do:

1. Clean out as much algae as possible.
2. Increase light to 10 hours.
3. Keep up with the PMDD
4. Add CO2
5. Make sure the tank is full of fast growing plants
6. Feed fish only every other day.
7. Stop using algae reducing chemicals
8. Weekly 30% water changes

Whatever you do, good luck and don't give up.
