algae control

What are the best critters to control algae? I've got some scarlet and blue leg hermits, nass snails, and astrea snails.

if your tank is big enough 100 gal + tangs are great way. A refug is really good too.

I'm actually getting a tang within the next few days.

We have a yellow eye kole's tang and he is the absoulte best! You would not believe how he keeps it. He is like a cow grazing all day long. We have a fighting conch that has been in the tank for a long time and had some algae on his shell - he even cleaned that off!!!

I believe any of the bristle tooth tangs would work equally well (Kole's Tang, Chevron Tang, Scopas Tang)
