Red Hair Algae Breakout - PICS

I think this only started with a few strands but now it's completely out of control. I have to admit I'm not big on water testing, but I use RO water and Coralife salt. Does anyone have any experience with this type of algae? Or is there anything that might control it?

mexican turbo snails! they will eat that stuff and more! i got 2 in my 55 gallon and i even saw them eating cyano :cool:
They get BIG so dont get more then 1 per 20 gallons
 
Bump. Any more ideas? It is really tough algae I can't manually remove it except from the largest rocks. Haven't been able to find a Kole Tang and the turbos and foxface haven't touched it.
