Algae Prob

[Rick Fish]

Has any one here had problems with red hair algae? My 38 gal has been getting a lot of it and diatoms latley. I have a yellow tang and two emerald crabs, which did help, but I still have so algae left. If you have any suggestions or can help me I would appreaciate it. Thanks
