I need a glasscleaner :)

[inkie]

I need a good glasscleaner who will help me removing algea from my glass! My tank is a 12G. I have 2 otocinclus, but i think i need a fish who eats even more algae.
Any suggestions?

An algae scrubber.

Seriously... algea eating fish still don't do the best job. Usually they make interesting patterns, but not much else. It should take you 5 minutes a week to scrub that tank.

Other than that, is the tank planted? If so, add more plants.

Yes their tank is planted and very nicely. There is a picture under the freshwater general. I say an algea scrubber too. A pleco would be to big and the ottos are great but they don't do good on green algea. My otto cleaned my whole back to my ten and the intake tube in one night though. He is great on the brown algea. ;D

Thx for the replies, I will go for the scrubber
My oto's are nice, but they only like one side of my tank they are always together with my cories! Isn't that funny? Just like they are the clean-up-team lol

I also use the dish scrubber when my ottoes don't get it all.

I just sit and watch my tank and its so funny..... there was this big patch of algea on my glass one time and my 4 oto's came in like mowers. lol. it was so funny ;D

I'd get the magnets and not a scrubbing brush personally.

I use pot scourers, the type with sponge one side and green scourer the other.
If you buy a new pack just hide them away from the washer up and use them solely for your tanks.
Great on glass but will scratch acrylic. 8)
