This is my new Nano 29 gal, but its growing like a lawn on Scotts Miracle Grow (even the sand). I had some in my old tank but this is nuts! I am using RO water and the tank has a carbon filter, wet/dry bioballs, and a coralife needle wheel for a skimmer. I tested the water and all seems to be good, no Ni. I bought a turbo snail and a few more crabs to help but this stuff is growing too fast for them to keep up.

What is the full name of this hair algae so I can try and correct it
