Hello! The new guy has a question...
First off, Hello! Name is Tony. It's been 31 days since my last drink.... Oh sorry, wrong forum. Hehe...
Anyway, I am nearing the end of my cycle in a 27 gallon brackish water tank and I am completly infested with diatoms. I know I should wait to do anything but what is a good cleaner fish for my tank? Is there a (are there) some good Pleco counterparts in the brackish water world?

One fish that you might want to try is the metallic livebearer (Girardinus metallicus). They can withstand brackish conditions and are said to do a pretty good job of clearing diatoms/algae.
