While we're on the topic of aquariums...anyone know how to get rid of algae?

I second everything Lake Surfer said above -- use your lights as sparingly as possible, and keep your tank away from windows. The fish don't care if it's dark.

You can also try putting a dark blanket over the tank for a few days to completely deprive the algae of light.
