different algae you have to use different method to cure.
So the question is what type of algae you want to treat,method of treatment you prefer and how much is your budget.

Hi Stan
My tank is infested with Brown Algae. I try to use Chinese Algae eater unfortunately this fish left a teeth mark on some of my plant especially M. Umrbosum. I try to purchase Otto and it is quite hard to find in Penang. If I manage to get it also my Otto won't last long. The most it can stay in my tank for 6 months and it die off.
Currently I have 2 SAE and quite happy as they manage to clear my black brush algae but they can clear brown algae which grow on my tank and gravel.
About budget I don't have any specific budget. I am open for suggestion.
