u sure its hair algae? im just getting over a cyano outbreak that took 2 months to get rid of! i had a blue jaw trigger die in my tank during a time that i wasnt paying much attention to it so it just rotted causing an ammonia spike which in the end turned to nitrates... that along with old filters in my R/O unit = a ton of red algae everywhere! i did a lot of large water changes, replaced my old filters in the R/O unit, replace media in phos reactor and removed as much by hand as possible during each water change HTH!

It could also be dinoflagellates. Any chance of a picture? It's better to be sure what you're dealing with.

Also, how are your nitrates and phosphates?
