I gave up keeping planted tanks 2 times because of hair algae!!! Recently, heard that some shripms will eat the baby hair algea ... longer hair algea to be removed by hand.

I know what CO2 is, but what is H2O2 (Ozon??), and SAE??? And how are these used in the tank???

If I can be more confident in removing hair algea, I would like to start a planted tank again for the 3rd time!!!

H202 is hydrogen peroxide (can be bought at most phrmacies), and SAE is Siamese Algae Eater. I used this for brush algae - not sure about hair algae tho'. Check out this site for H202 usage : www.gpodio.com/h2o2.asp.
