I have had my tank setup for about a month now! 50G, have rocks and driftwood etc. Have about 8-10 plants preety large, but in the ladt weeks have had an small out-burst of algae forming on all the rocks, and its growing pretty quick?

Theres the odd microdot of algae on the galss, but nothing major? And i have a 4 inch pleco in there, but all he seems to o is fill the tank with poo in about 2 days! and does seem to eat any of the algae.

I was thinking of getting some ottos? but a friend has them, and they ate alll of his plants?

Any advise? other than taking the rocks out when i cahnge the water everyweek, and scrubbing them?
 
What does the algae look like? A pic would be ideal. As for the pleco, IME they never live up to the hype. Ottos will help with some algae but not all and they wont eat plants.
