This is my first posting. I have a 75 gal. tank with a Fluval 404. The tank is 11 months old. I have Green Hair Alge taking over my tank and am looking for thoughts on how to get it out of my tank. A week ago I added phosGuard to my 404 to remove any phosphates from the water. All water tests are normal. I have plans to replace the 404 with a sump in a few months. I am attaching some pics. please Help if you can.

you could try some turbo snails scarlet hermits and maybe a foxface.I have never had a foxface lo before I have the bicolored and have had a majestic foxfaces I havent found much in the algae department it wouldnt eat.but I have never had hair algae in my tanks(knock on wood)to say whether or not this fish could help.

the above will help remove it and you also may want to look into a algea blenny. mine will east ANYTHING algea related. but you also need to find out WHAT is allowing it to thrive so well. what kind of water are you using and what is your feeding schedule. what kind of bio load do you have

I have about 10 to 15 Turbo's and about 8 Hermits a Bicolored Blennie, Coral Beauty, Yellow tank, Neon Goby and a Clown. I feed once a day about a 1/4 of a cube of frozen foode 1/8 formula 2 and 1/8 formula 1. I use RO water from my LFS. I do water changes of 5 to 10 gal. a week. Thank for all your help.
