Would you say that the chaeto, Ro/Di water, halimedia, and less feeding actually got RID of the algae? or is it that you manually removed the ones that were there already and these improvements made sure they didn't come back again?
Just curious as I'm trying to help someone else with this issue, too.

Well, I can't say for sure, since I did manually remove a lot of it, but I think it would have gone away 100% w/o manual removal if I had just left it alone.
There were days, after I quit pulling it out, where I'd come in every day and see less hair on top of my top rock...actually over the course of two weeks it went from having a crew cut to being bald.
Just starve the tank for nurtients and it will dissapear...
And they say macro will always outcompete the micro algae for food, given a goodly amount.
