Hair algae

[Fast Eddie H]

My 90 gallon tank finished cycling about 3 weeks ago and for the past two weeks I have had a horrible hair algae bloom going. I know this is normal, and I aded 35 turbos, 14 blue legs and 5 scarlet hermits. They are making a dent, but very slowly.
Are there any fish, other than tangs, that eat hair algae?

Lawnmower blenny

Give the clean-up crew time to do their job. Maybe add the lawnmower blenny as your first fish. Patience is the key.

You can try a seahare.

Water changes and manual pruning will give the cleanup crew a chance to get ahead of the algae and then keep it in control.

This article gives some good advice and talks about manual pruning.

Throw in a sea hare. one of those suckers will clean it all up in about a week.
