I recently established a very small EcoCube freshwater tank, prepared the tank per the instructions, and introduced 6 small neon tetras, three small blue shrimp, and an algae eater. The algae eater did such a good job sweeping algae off the sides of the tank that I became concerned it didn't have enough algae to eat, and foolishly dropped a small bit of an algae tablet into the tank.
So now I have an algae control problem, despite wiping the inside tank walls down once a week when I change about 1/3 of the water (I estimate the whole tank is not more than 2 gallons.
Is there anything I can do to keep the algae under control that will not harm the algae eater?
Many thanks!
