Need Help With Hair Algae

[tgaccarn]

I seem to have a lot of hir algae on my live rock, i have purchased a yellow tang to help controll it and a large Algae blenny. Nothing seems to help and i never see them eating it. Any comments would be seriously appreciated.

might be cyano, if you wipe it away is it back in a day or two. if so it is cyano and maracin saltwater treatment will take care of it.

cyano is the result of a problem
maracin may fix it temp, but unless the problem is solved, it will be back
more movement will help end cyano

Can you fill us in on your specific water quality parameters and tank specs? Age of lights? Water change frequency? All the basic stuff to start with

Yes, give us an idea of how old your actual light bulbs are, how high your nitrates are, and what type of water you use in your aquarium. Plus, how long are lights on everyday?
