Algae eaters with Triggers

Hair algae started in my 55 with two 4 inch Triggers, a HumuHumu and a Niger. Is there a solution? Two Turbos I added last month have stayed alive despite the Humu picking at it regularly the first 3 weeks.
I know I overfed for awhile, and that will end...
Is there anything "trigger safe" I can add?

I think I've found a new cause for this. While using a baster to spray off sand from the LR, I poked the baster into a small hole and puffed. Out came a bunch of slimey stuff. The rock is new (half month since I got it at the store after buying it uncured half month before- cured at the store). So...Let's see if this expulsion of gunk slows the algae, and also brings down my nitrates.
My tank now smells like uncured rock. I hate to say it, but I wouldn't want to be a fish in there right now:(
