I have a bit of a hair algae problem in my tank and am about to purchase a Sea Hare. In researching them I've come to find that they can/do release toxins. I run carbon...what else would you all recommend? My set up is 2 years old give or take.

The only time they release toxins is if they die. Make sure your power heads are covered. I had one that got sucked into a maxi jet pimp. They are great cleaners but they poop alot so you might have to step up your water changes while he's in the tank.
You have to find put what is causing the hair algae to completely get rid of it. The sea hare is just a temporary fix.
