Letting Algae Cover The Back Of The Tank

[jordan.m]

I read in a book that it can be somewhat beneficial for the fish to let algae cover the back of the tank and even the sides (basically any sides that aren't used for viewing).

I was wondering what you guys thought of this, and whether or not any of you do it?

Thanks,
Jordan

I've let this happen to my tank because I want food for my bristlenose pleco and ottos. I'd like to know this myself.

Ted,

Just in case you are curious - I read this in the book "Freshwater Aquarium Problem Solver", sponsored by Animal Planet.

You can take a look at the book here: http/www.amazon.com/Freshwater-Aquarium-...3963531-9834367
