Nice tank, nice aquascaping. Try to control the hair algae. The more you wait ....... you will regret. What sump do you have?

I think that you are on the right path.

GFO, low nutrients in, less light, new bulbs, better flow, RODI water, chaeto in sump. Where did you buy your rocks? Sometime they might be soaked in phosphates and can be a while until they are diffused out or consumed. Some reefers increase magnesium level.

I have hair algae in my tank, so please don't take everything I said as the best recipe. There are lots of folks around that may be better in answering this.

They are new bulbs, running GFO, RO/DI water, maybe can try lowering Amount of time my lights are on for and I got my live rock from Poseidon but I think I may try turning lights on for less amount of time

Hair algea will run its course. Biopellet and Gfo and livestock that eat it will be ur best bet permitting ur not putting bad nutrients back in from somewhere. My rock all came from poised on and I went through a huge hair algea bloom. All gone now and tanks real clean took about three weeks to be rid of it entirely
