It's been 3 weeks. and I'm so glad to say. My green hair algae is Gone. besides getting the Tomini tang, yellow Tang, foxface fish, lawnmower blenny, and Emerald crab. I used 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide. for 2 weeks I added 10 ml at 10 pm and then at 9:30 am when my lights were out. then I grabbed my pipet and sprayed the GHA on all the rock work. and scrub it out with a toothbrush and sucked it out. I know I went to extreme. But it has not come back. happy to share this video. Thanks for watching.

How did you get rid of hair algae ?

Hi... What I did... I put 10 ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide 3% every day for 2 weeks. I made sure I added the peroxide when the tank lights are out. This way none of the fish think it's food. So I did it on my schedule time 10pm before I go to bed and I put it in the morning before my lights go on which was at 9:30am. Sunday's are my tank cleaning days. The next thing I did on my Sunday. I used my pipet tool and then I sprayed the GHA. I scrub it out with a toothbrush and sucked it out with my water vacuum. By the second Sunday that I vacuum the tank. There was no more GHA. It's been clean for 3 weeks now. No algae at all.

Oh nice I’ll have to try that!

It worked for me... I also have 2 Tangs and a rabbitfish and the lawnmower blenny and 1 emerald crab.. and my regular blue legged hermit crabs. they've been pecking at my rock work as well... I don't want to take all the credit. But yeah the GHA is gone. Also just want to add. I haven't added any more peroxide since the algae is gone now. I think it's a done deal.
