Not to many animals eat red hair algae. Do you have anything/critters for stirring the sandbed? Like nassarius snail or a goby to help turn and aerate the sand? I know you've heard this before but the best defense is to just do extra water changes. This will help with the hair algae, cyano, diatoms and any other algae issues you may have.
