I purchased 3 Siamese Algae Eaters to help with the BBA and 3 more Amano Shrimp for the other nuisance algae. So far things are going well! I've witnessed two munching on the BBA and most of the algae is dwindling. Things are looking up!

Here's a pic of day 54:

Day 62

Not much to say other than everything's going great and I have no visible algae... Really tranquil to fall asleep to at the foot of my bed.

Tank looks awesome!!!! So you finally got rid of your bba problem?

Yes!! I read around the forum for a while, and did a little online surfing and the only fish consistently brought up in discussion about BBA control was the Siamese Algae Eater. I went to the lfs, identified them as the true species and bought three. Literally minutes after being acclimated to their new oasis they started feeding exclusively on the BBA. Within a week it was gone. None. Even the old leaves are polished. I couldn't be happier! Needless to say, I'm in the SAE algae control method club!
