although they do have some decent chemicals to treat hair algae... i would try some turbo snails.. they've ALWAYS done a nice job in my tanks

my opinion is the snails, snails seem to do the most work in my tank.... but if u add them add extra shells for the hermits... cuz my hermit has killed 2/3 of mine...

get 3 different kinds to keep the alge down. some clean the sand and some clean the glass. the crabs will help clean your live rock and gobies love alge!! good luck.
