Do you have nitrates or phosphates? Is the algae getting worse and worse? I would start with adding a media reactor with GFO.

Maybe reduce the feedings to your fish and corals as well.

Post a pic so we can see what kind of algae you are talking about.

I agree with Cody on this. Running some GFO is a great start and maybe some water changes along with reduced feeding.

But definitely post a pic so we can help you figure the best method in eradicating it and see what type it actually is

I started running a Reactor with GFO and my Phosphates are 0 on the salifert test. My algae has gone away!

if you have a lot of hair algae and i mean a lot, a very effective natural erradicator is a Seahare it's not preety looking but very effective.
