Algae outbreak!!!

Can anyone reccomend the best way to rid of green hair algae. Any algae removers work?

Agh, I've got green hair algae too. Hope you can get rid of it.

Kent mag @1800 for a week will kill it as long as your nitrates and phosphates are low

Ive had both hair algae, and bryopsis(still have), and the best algae eater Ive ever had was a purple tang(sold him to a friend because he became to aggressive). Now I have a Scopas Tang, and a Foxface, that have totally eaten all the hair algae, but will not touch the bryopsis.
