I saw your post Jeff, thanks.
I just started running a PhosBan reactor on my 26 for a red slime problem. It's been driving me nuts for nearly two months. The reactor will have been up one week this week end. The red slime spread during the day has slowed since turning on the reactor, but, I am not sure if that's because of the reactor or the fact that my MH bulb blew as the result of a brown out?
As for hair algae, I run a 9W UV sterilizer and it really seems to help. You may need a little larger unit on your system

I was going to get the PFO moolight that attaches to MH mogul sockets but when I saw this thread I decided to take a shot and try it myself:
and here's the result:
I know it look kinda dark but it really doesnt look like this in reality...it's much brighter but not too bright. Kind of like a full moon.
It was a snap. The hardest part was getting up the guts to stick it to the reflector.
Next update...some new additions...

Well here is a picture of my latest, a purple monti and a green bali slimer frag:
And they were doing great until I came home tonight to this:
Who dunnit? Hopefully that purple monti recovers and the bandit doesn't return.
more to follow.

The mandarin didn't make it because my tank was just too new. I'll bet it would do better now as I have amphipods the size of shrimp, and every other size too, running around now in the tank, the fuge and the sump. Maybe if I see a nice example of one at one of my many LFSs I will try again but no rush here.

Ummm..what tang? That's just a yellow-tail damsel

Hey look at my setup and location for a 26gal tank...i'm not in my right mind.
But hey, I decided to look at it this way: If he (the yellow-tail damsel ) gets to the point of being too big before I finish setting up the larger FOWLR tank I can always move him to the sump (with its 80+ gallons of water) for the time being.

Note to self: Airbrush out all fish from future pictures.

@roadie...I never took it as anything other than that. I know it will grow. I also know that I have a reasonable plan to deal with it when the time comes. For right now I like how the fish look in the tank and believe it or not everyone basically gets along.

do I hear sirens approaching?
