i put a post in reef fish, but what do you guys think would be a simply way to get hair algae off my frag plugs and rocks? i'd like a fish but i already have 4 in a 29. So i don't want to get a fish i'd have to get out. Any snails or nudibranchs snails etc. I have astreas and nassarius snails, one blue leg hermit, let me know pleaseeee its ugly

Raise your Mg+ level. Many people have had sucess with raising the Mg up above 1300.

0 TDS water, watch feedings, run skimmer wet, cut back a little on light cycle, do a lights out one day every two weeks and water changes every 1 or 2 weeks.
