Default Help!!! My Tank Is A Chia Pet

This is about my 120Gal Reef. So maybe I'm too lazy, or maybe I just can't keep up. I just got rid of the damn FormosaWrasse that killed everything in my tank from crabs to other fish. So now that I have my tank back I need advice. Anyone know some fish I can add that will go to work on the hair algae thats growing? My scrubbing plucking and netting isnt enough. Probably gonna go to the beach for my blue leg clean up crew but i think a fish or two might help the cause too. any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance ~Zero~

Since your livestock is gone, kill the lights for a week or two, do a massive water change, run phosban and see what happens. With no food and no light, your algae should die off.

I have livestock. 50+ different corals. everything from zoos to Large chalice colonies. So wouldn't 2 weeks of no light leave me with no more coral?

Ouch! Well I guess that totally changes the picture. I'm now thinking algae blenny, kole or bristle tooth tang, hermit crabs, phosban, and either not feeding the tank or feeding nori every three to four days.
