Hi Tankman, there is a great site here http://www.aquamoss.net/Articles/Sia...uatic-Moss.htm, where the writer gave a fabulous write up on how to catch SAEs in a tank. There is another article of an experiment done by having SAE and Moss in a same tank. Just after an hour and the moss was destroyed!

Like in most newly setups, my tank had its taste of algae. I focused on nutrient management to get rid of them. After 3 months, I hardly see any algae. In addition, I added shrimps instead of SAEs for cleaning task.
