Hi all, im new to this forum and to discus in general so i thought i would ask all of you, what is the best type of algae eater to put in my 120 gallon planted tank. I have been reading all over the internet for about a week now and every time i THINK i have found the right algae eater for my tank i read an absolutely horrible thing about them such as snails who are the best algae eaters but become a pest and have a hard time living in 85 degrees, or otos and BN's who like to suck on the side of discus to SAE who become fat and lazy and just eat the food and not algae. So i was hoping that all of you here would be able to shed light on this with your own tanks and experience to help me finally get rid of all that green and brown algae after my fishless cycle. thanks! p.s. there are no other fish in it right now, just dosing 1 - 2ppm of ammonia a day to feed the bacteria.
