Green Spot algae

[evercl92]

Does anyone have recommendations for something that will eat the green spot algae that grows on the glass? I have a heavily planted 125g tank, and this has sprung up in the past week. I already have an algae crew of: 6 oto's, farlowella, florida flag fish, 3 siamensis, chineese algae eater, and a rubbernose pleco.

TIA

Razor blade and a little elbow grease. Only use the blade if the tank is glass, or a mag float.

Also if it's a high light tank with CO2 an ferts, you may want to try upping your PO4 dosing.

I have to laugh because Purrbox always beats me to the answer Increased PO4 levels (.5 to 1.5 ppm) should remedy the green spot algae problem. Ever since I started running my PO4 at these levels I haven't seen a single dot of the stuff
