Re: green hair algae
You need a beefy skimmer and a good clean RO/DI....and large water changes.........and blast your rock out with a powerhead or a baster everyday for a while. You may need to lighten your bioload somewhat. You also need a refugium and depending on how much you feed you may need to cut back. That's pretty general without knowing about your system but still covers most of the bases.

Re: green hair algae
It's all about excessive nutrients. Can you tell us more about your system? Age, equipment, inhabitants.
