you have a weak skimmer
you need to up the % of water you change
change food.
change GFO bi-monthly as yours is just leeching phos back in the tank. once phos is in control go to monthly changing.
raise mag to 1450-1500

do not run those carbon pads long, after 2 weeks its a nitrate factory. dont run bio balls or beads

dont run chemicals

the trick to hair algea is keeping the water cleaner. At first signs of it you need to take major steps, if you wait till the rocks are green its to late and a pain.
