ok i always like to bio filter tanks and go as natural as possible i got a 150 breeder (same foot print as a 220) and the bio filter is almost set but im having one problem with mat algae the stock of the tank is a 17" jar an 15" burcher and a 10" indo dat. as you can tell we are talking mando aggression as for decor i have a large java furn a bunch of drift wood and rock work with a 2" rock base. water movement is a aqua clear filter filled with bio sponge and rock and a corelea 4. the only cem filter on this tank is a hot magnum with carbon . ok know that the set up is described off to the problem i had a sailfin pleco in the tank that lasted all of a week before it had the crap beat out of it. i would like to know if i put a common pleco in there would thay kill it and if not would it take care of the algae build up on the java furn without killing my furn or am i going to be stuck sucking this stuff off the rocks and rubbing it off the leaves of my furn
 
Here are some pics of the tank egnor the hoses am in the middle of a water change just scrubed off the rocks but you should be able to see it on the furn

on my jar he was a rescue and the fins were alot worse he was kept in a tank from what i was told with a bunch of africen chilids and thay beat him up pritty bad i only paid 20$ for him and he was just a little smaller then what he is know and that was almost 6 months ago. lol know he will bit anything that looks like food including the fingers opening the tank and the cat as he trys putting paw in water lol ( funny as hell i might add)
