help with hair algae

[jakey]

i got some hair algae in my tank. wad is the best way of removing them other than using yamato shrimps?

reason y i don want to use yamato is because this is a HC planted tank, even though the HC is growing well, i don't want the yamatoes to disturb it. should i do just a blackout?

Remove it manually yourself and don't worry about yamatoes pulling your HC out. They ain't going to do that...blackout is going to make your HC grow leggy which is worse.
