I can give you some....LOL...
1. check your water parameters
2. how much and what are you feeding?
3. Lighting schedule?
4. Tank occupants?
5. Flow?
6. Filtration?
7. Get a sea hare (although all mine have died
)
8. Lawnmower Blennie (mine is fat...I still have HA
9. I am sure there is something else
AND FINALLY
I think I am going to try the magnesium trick.....supposedly..(I have only read this) if you raise your mag slowly.....the HA will die
I will let you know...I may order some magnesium this next week...

Magesium.....I started to do that, but decided I had too much invested in inverts...everyone was telling me higher mag would kill the inverts...so I stopped
I just put chemi-pure elite in yesterday, and with w/c's and manual removal, a seahare, turbos, emerald crabs, sally lightfoots, lettuce nudibranch....I have finally made big progress....
Got a bit to go.....but more than 50% is gone

turbo snails are good algae eaters

It will mow the stuff down....only thing is in your smaller tank it will probably starve after it eats alll your HA....see if your lfs can get you one, and then see if they will trade you back for it when it's done its job

raising the mg is not a problem at all as long as you raise it very slowly. it will help thin it out and eventually kill it. the CUC will help but you gotta get to the root of your problem also. whats causing GHA to grow and thrive? do you rinse your food? are you using ro/di water?

i dont rinse my food i also dont over feed, feeding my fish every other day.. and i do use ro/di water to top off my tank....
