No issues with flow. The Tunze’s are beasts and never slow down. Plus the coraline grows on the top of the power heads and not the bottom so they can still pull water in through the under side of the cage. As for hair algae, keeping your Po4 and Nitrates low will help. Granted my Po4 is regularly .25 and my nitrates 25ppm but they are in balance and I never have GHA issues. Also, having more quality lights with more blue spectrum over the display as opposed to whiter light can go a long way since most macro’s thrive under white and or red spectrums and white lighting has a lot of red in it. Having a good size refugium where algae can out compete the tank can help a lot. If you in a rush, you can try flucazole treatment. Do a google search for flucazole GHA and you can read up on using that. I have not used it personally but I know others have had good success erradicating it with that stuff.
