I am in Union City. I can return or pass to the next person.

Not sure if this is still going but people were passing them around here:

Algae problems? Boy, do I have the solution for you! This Sea Hare is the best sea slug west of the Mississippi. Included are three modes: slow, extra slow, and extra extra slow. Runs at night for added convenience. Only obligation for those who participate in sharing this sea slug is that it...

I’ve also found Mexican turbo snails (the big golf-ball sized ones) are good at taking care of hair algae, when you can get them.

It’s a chore but manual removal also works pretty well on hair algae, at least to knock it back. Siphon hose, thumb over end of hose to pull off the algae and suck it down the hose in one motion. You can do with a water change or just into a filter sock in your sump then clean the sock. It will grow back but you are gradually depleting whatever nutrients it needs to grow as you remove it.

I searched and could not find that.
