Get a bristle nose Pleco, he's one of the better known actual cleaning algae eaters, I have 2 in my 75g and he keeps my boulders spotless! I have a mag-float for my glass I let him eat the rest on the rocks.

Iv'e got a mag float however I can't reach the back of the tank as it it up against a wall. The front and sides I do clean w/ the mag float. If you can see in the pic it is the dark spots on the back wall.
The Cichlids won't bother the Bristle Nose Pleco? If that is the case I will pick up one. I do have a Pictus Catfish in there and they don't seem to bother him much..
BTW, My tank is a 65 gal high......
