[Clown fish]

I there I'm currently have a battle with hair algie my tank has been running a year now all parameters seem correct to me lighting x2 39w t5 x1moon light t8 lights on for 13 hour A day then moon light comes on for 1hour any ideas on how to beat this stuff?

Make sure you have good water flow in your tank. Hair algae will grow in "dead spots." Good luck!
