hey all i have green speckles of algae growing on my 12g nano cube glass. its not thick and running amuck..........yet. was wondering if you guys know of any invert or fish that would get rid of it. my magnets wont rub it off
my clean crew consists of the following
1 blue hermit
1 scarlet hermit and 3 pink? may all be scarlet but they are more pinkish
2 mexican turbos
1 turbo
3 sand sifter snails ( love those guys, move fast as s$%^ too! )
1 coral banded shrimp
they are always working but for some reason the last couple days i have some green specs on the glass showing up. any advice would be appreciated

The snails and critters will never get it all off. You have to scrape it. I bought a regular scraper with the metal end, they sell plastic ones too. It works great. You just have to be careful to not scratch the acrylic with the metal scraper. Im not sure how well the plastic ones work.
