You could try this Spin-Stream from IM. It can be attached to your return pump/pipe or to a powerhead, but do check your flow rate to see if its within the operating range of the Spin stream.
I'm using this. Need low flow to work.

Can I know where did you get the HS28 and the price of it?
have been using the HC100a for few years
at first was quite concerned about the electrical cost ... how long it runs and how often it kicks in
but over time can't be bothered and electrical bill din really shoot up
did not really track the bill different, but if you don't feel pain means is ok

Any side effects if fed with the seasoned ones?
ha, season with sea salt but the urchin maybe more salt-ish

if I want to keep the urchin in the sump... since the algae is now under control, what should I feed it with?
-
Anyone bought from Eshine store direct?
-
nano tank,maybe not suitable these fishes

clean really deep is very true

to those who are desperate with hair algae... try the urchin .
-
The hermit crab is cute and beautiful
but it likes to carve .. yes, carve, on the branch of the frogspawn ... and the cut is deep till the branch turn very weak and break easily
so cannot get more of it to help with the cleaning

I think I really is lazy
many times wanted to measure the phosphate also never do it
just tried to reduce the light on period.
I only "target" feed 1 flame goby a few small round ball dry fish food once everyday
but I guess is best to have these cleaning crew around to keep the algae in check round the clock

About 1 year back, hair algae problem started in my tank and was having hard time battling
Astro snails and hermit crabs could only do a half-hearted job
slowly these cleaning crews died and I also giving up. And the hair algae also spread to most of the rocks and even on the glass.
one month ago I decided to give another try and got a few Turbo snails and 1 urchin from Ah Beng, plus a small snail from aquamarin.
Miracle happened.These guys managed to cleaned up most of the algae and now my tank has a much tidy look with the algae down to an acceptable level.
Luckily the urchin did not attack my coralline algae ... for now.
In the picture with the hermit crab, the rock on the right was later cover with short green algae. Somehow the cleaning crews love it
.. this rock was first to be cleaned up.

will hairy algae turn into turtle weed?
Hermit at work ... but this home grown vegetation not very welcome leh ....
-
if hair algae is a bit long, will snails still eat them?
-
Is there any aquarium in the east that sell a large varieties of equipment like 328?
best is good price and functional, brand not important
-
not sure if it is a nuisance algae but it does look good
I take it as decoration
-
is not mushroom cos it is hard and fixed
will take another picture with a proper camera and zoom in.
in my previous tank, the coralline grow like a rose to the size of a grown man fist
after I decom that tank, that coralline "flower" is the only thing I kept ... as usual, after out of water it turned into white
something like that ... so is called crustose_coralline_algae
-
Are you refering to that dark purple spot in between the mushrooms?
yes
