I'm starting feel like I need to be sponsored by Two Little Fishes, but here goes again:

Get a PhosBan Reactor, PhosBan media, MJ400 and 2 feet of 1/2" airline tubing. Run it for one month, then change the media and wait another month. If the hair algae hasn't started to go away after two months PM me and I'll buy the reactor from you.
I actually bought the reactor. My only problem was getting it hooked up the biocube. So, I returned it to the store. As much as I like the BC, and it's probably good as a starter tank, it seems to be very restrictive in what can be added.
