Re: Nuisance algae identification help
You will find numerious ways to attempt to get rid of green hair algea. Trocus and Astrea snails do reasonably well on it, but not always. And I imagine you have a CUC already. What worked the best for me was a GFO reactor from Three Little Fishes. They are cheap (about $40 plus a maxi-jet pump $25) and work pretty well. The GFO media can be a bit expensive, but for a 40gal you don't need much.
