One awesome way to defeat algae is by increasing the number of blue leg hermit crabs in your aquarium. These crabs are great for eating left over food, detritus & nuisance algae. In a book by Julian Sprung called Algae: A Problem Solver Guide he states "they are very good herbivores that feed in cyanobacteria, green and red filamentous algae."
