    algea

    I have a 125 gallon tank thats fish only and the back of it is up against a wall with makes it really tough to clean. So now i have a good glaze of brown algea growing on the back. I would put some type of snail to eat it all but i'm pretty sure that my stars and stripes puffer will just eat them, even though its only a baby. anyone have and ideas on a fish that would eat that algea.

    Yeah, the elbow-grease fish.

    Use one of those long-handled Kent algae scrapers, the kind that make your wrist sore after only ten or fifteen minutes. Just do like I do: Work on it for ten or fifteen minutes and then go at it again maņana.
