I saw a beautiful, almost spotless 240 gallon plexiglass tank, with 1 hazy
spot where a pleco got too vigorous in it's munching. Don't know what type
of pleco, but am determined NOT to put any pleco in any plastic tank.

Subject: [GSAS-Member] Royal Pleco and Algae
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.
