Katie asked:
I take care of a 125 gallon tank at work. It’s right in the front foyer by a huge window. I need something to control algae. I almost have to clean the thing once a week it gets so scummy looking! What works the best? I just have cicklids in there now, but was debating getting some kind of algea eater. But in the past, all the algea eaters just really didn’t make a difference and when I added algicide in it killed them.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

it seems that 125 gallons of waer is a lot to handle, but if you want to clean algae, then go to your local Petsmart , its way better than WALMART!!!

Standard “Algae eaters” such as siamese ans plecos will not help too much seeing as as they mature, they eat less and less algae are rely on meaty and woody foods. Ottos will eat algae throughout their lifespans, but moght get eaten by the cichlids in the tank. Try reposting this question on – the guys over there should be able to give you a good solution.

Snails they eat algae but make sure what kind of you are getting.
