my Foxface took care of any hair algae problem I had. He mowed an entire rock down in like two weeks. Tanks looking good!
 
Oh man, I bet THAT was fun. Glad to see you've partially won the battle. Now just find out what CAUSED the algae in the first place :D
 
Here is the final product... I found what was causing the problem... I was only cleaning my cannister filter twice a month and the foam pads were trapping shit causing nitrate problems and what not.
here are some pics of the final product of hours of scrubbing and cleaning.. I also re stakked my rocks. :)
