[GSAS-Member] Royal Pleco and Algae

[welenofsky@comcast.net]

I was wondering if anyone had a Royal Pleco. I've read that their teeth can 
scratch acrylic tanks. Does anyone have any personal experience with this fish?

Does anyone know where I can get a bristlenose pleco?

My tank went completely out of wack with the algae after I did several water 
changes (fill and empty 3 or 4 times), moved it across the living room (25 
feet), broke the $35 actinic bulb, and didn't add liquid fertilizer. I was 
wondering if the actinic had UV qualities to kill algae.

It's interesting that some of the plants, which grew real well, like the 
bacopa, and a big-leaved crypt, got infested with the algae, while others, like 
the Eichhornia diversifolia, the African Lotus, and the reddish plant I got 
from Paul are doing great, and algae free. What is that red plant Paul? It 
looks wonderful.
