look like hair algae to me, but not an expert, how old is the tank and what is in it

Does it have feathery ends like this?

If so then Byropsis sp.

tank is a little over a year old. it is in a 90 gal tank with 20 gal sump/fuge. i have cheato in my fuge.
it doesnt seem to have the feathery ends

YAY hair algae.
I would try a tooth brush scraping it off and have someone there with a siphon and try and suck it up. From there --- find out where your extra nutrients are coming from.
It's not harmful -- just a pain to get rid of.

what is the live stock in the tank, there are things that will eat it (hair algae) and w/c will help to

all i have now is a clownfish, banghai cardinal, sally lightfoot, couple of hermits, and a few snails. when i had a bad dino problem most of my snails died off. i am placing an order tonight for a clean up crew. any livestock you suggest? i am thinking of ordering the following:
kole tang
30 blue leg hermits
25 turbo snails (the ones that look like the astria snails)
1 sea hare
15 nass snails
