What got rid of your display tank algae?

Trying to narrow it down. Unlimited choices.

I have an urchin that has eaten every spot of algae in my tank. That was a large feat, even for my 20 gal. He needs a new home in fact!

Beautiful Harlequin, I have a breeding pair in my 70 gallon.

Thanks! I just fed her and the urchin was sneaking across the front when I read this thread. It was impeccable timing! She's my favorite thing in the tank

Raising my nitrates to 5 ppm. When my nitrates are up my phosphates go to 0 and my algae goes away. GFO and 0 nitrates doesn't seem to do it as well.

I voted herbivorous fish, not due to hair algae, but caulerpa run amok.

Turbo turbo turbo turbo... Got 20 of them threw them in and once it was gone I took the turbos back to the store.
