As I can see from previous threads, there are no algae eaters for brackish. What I am wondering is if there is another way to remove algae other than good old fashion elbow grease. We have some brown algae that is like concrete we are having trouble removing it form the side of the tank.....

any pointers?

Zebra nerite snails do a bang-up job on all algaes, and they are quite suited to brackish water.

I use those magnetic scrubbers. I find they work quite well.
