What would be the best regimine for dosing Methanol to the substrate? Take and inject .5ml in the sand on the right side of the tank, then the next day/week inject to the left side?

I have been reading so much on this to try and figure out how to beat hair algae. I read the Nitrogen cycle in the Library section when I first came here but the Denitrification was so way over my head I didnt even know what was going on.

Im sure I have CSoli. Water is testing 0 nitrates and phosphates, but I am unduring a long battle with hair algae. API test kits, I am thinking of getting some higher quality kits in case the nutrients are in the algae and not detectable. I do water changes minimum of every 10 days and sometimes after only 4 or 5 days on the 55 gallon - 10 gallon water changes.

I have a skimmer that I am getting some parts for and that will be installed soon. I am also getting a new fuge pump that will increase turnover from about 2.5X to about 5 or 6X.

 

So I am excited about the changes coming soon, but this hair algae has got to go. I am conisdering light long term methanol dosing for the many benefits I have read about.
