+1 even though I don't know what eradicate means

LMB's will eat it but you should find the cause of the problem and then it won't keep coming back

Eradicate- To remove. (that's the short version of course)

i solved the problem it stop spreading and i use r/o only now and i been using purigen but i still have the same patches i just need them removed my algae stopped spreading an growing just those lil patches that were there from the beginning

Sounds fair enough. However I would think if the problem was solved then the algae would recede on its own. There must be a nutrient source for it to be there. Also if you are now depleting the water column to a undetectable level, If the rocks or substrate have nutrients stored in them then they will leach them out feeding the algae.

HA, HA
Well I wouldn't go with a sea hair. A blenny might be a good thing to keep it in check. Now with good husbandry and excellent water, the tank will cycle and be stronger in the end.
