Hair Algae Issue

[NicoC16]

I was wondering what is the best "clean up crew" creature or invertebrate to clean up some of the hair algae in my tank. I have heard that sea hares do a good job, but I'd like to see what others have to say.

Sea hare, Mexican turbo snails, urchins.

Waterchanges, good flow, and running phosphate media if needed

And use of ro/di water to ensure there is nothing in the water to begin with. I use distilled water from Walmart and I have algae growth from what is in the stuff...though it is drastically better than tap.

Don't forget not over feeding, and running your light too long.
