Is your algae brown or RED?
If it's RED, that isn't algae. You have a Cyano Bacteria problem and it needs to be dealt with manually (syphon it out, tape a tooth brush to the end of your syphon and scrape the rocks - nothing eats Cyano).
As for a clean up crew, I would add about 20 Cerith Snails. I'd also add one Fighting Conch.

Its brown. I just had a major diatom outbreak(newly cycled tank).

Its alright teen not very often you find someone who is local and you cant pm so you have to post to them somewere.
I dont replace them "well" I did but with other snails. I personally like the nassarius "perfect for the over feeder in your live lol" Mexican turbos "good for the glass and rockwork mostly glass" Crabs good for the rock and sand"

sorry bout getting off topic with the original thread
Fishtown is great. They are very knowledgable. I used to live in Bayside so im always around there. Mutts N Butts is also good. I havent bought anything from them yet but they have some nice corals and fish. I work right next door so its convenient. The place is well kept. Tanks are clean. Staff is friendly. I would have to say Fishtown has a lil more of a selection though. Worth the drive. Teen where in LI are you?
