Mollies for algea control?

[dqualls]

Could I get some experience feedback on the use of mollies in a reef tank to help with algea control.Thanks

They are not good for clearing algae that has already been established, but they do a fair job at keeping new growth in check. If you currently have an algae problem, look for nutrient export solutions. It's best to solve the problem instead of covering it up.

They work really well on hair algae.Not so well on cyano.We use them in our live rock holding tanks to keep our rock clean and it works well.
