I got a really bad hair algae problem. I think my rocks are leeching phosphates even after an acid back. Anyway, I'm doing 5 gallon water changes a week on a 20g. What CUC can I get that'll really mow down hair algae. I have a few hermits, nasarius snails, and one turbo snail. Anything else I should add?

Trochus Snail, but you gotta manually remove the really long hair algae and they'll take care of the rest.
