Never really understood by people hate algae so much... I actually find perfectly cleaned aquariums to be ugly and non-natural... In my opinion a nice, natural, settled aquarium needs algae...
Unless it´s an invasion of course....they can kill you other plants and some times are bad for the aquarium...but a reasonable amount of algae is a friend of the aquarium hehe...
Very true and a good source of food and shelter for other usefull organisms as well but in cases as such where they might not really be a algae but a bacteria like red slime in a reef tank, its not that great to keep around.
