Algae battle is the worst that can ruin any tank. Have an issue with hair algae, apart from Tangs (coz they will be big for my tank), and manual removal, are there are other good fishes available in the NCR region to get rid of this?

Use RO DI water to get rid of any type of algae in marine tank.

I am no expert in SW tanks but if you cant post your water's readings it might help one of the members to assist you.
Details on the tenure of the tanks along with inhabitants would be helpful.

Do some water changes...
You can also add rowa phos/ some phosphate remover to reduce phosphates.. Otherwise i would recommend the use of a prodibio system or a bio pellet system to help with the algae issues..

how long is your tank running already?
if it is just a few weeks old, do not worry, algae are normal and will disappear again.
