I've had my 46 gallon tank for about 4 years and it was going fine. About 4 months again I had a little algae growing and I didn't think much of it. Now I have hair algae everywhere covering everything. 3 days ago I did a 60% water change and just acclimated a 30-90 gallon cleaning crew. I just wanted to know what else I could do? (my levels have been great throughout this period)

How old are your bulbs? I changed mine, and did the toothbrush thing, cut back on feeding, got a lot of snails,I also added 2 power heads for more flow, also got in the house RO/DI .I do a 10% water change every week. Now my tank looks great. I gave this same advise yesterday, still good today.
