Generally it is a good idea to leave some algae. However, if you want to clean the tank very thoroughly and you are worried about the amount of algae left for your bottom-feeders, the best option is to buy algae discs. They are fairly inexpensive and you can find them almost anywhere that sells fish. They're located next to the fish food and usually a few discs will keep your bottom-feeders from going hungry until algae naturally grows back.

How do you make algae for your algae eating fish?

If you're having trouble getting algae in a tank with algae eaters there a couple of explanations to consider. 1. They are eating all the algae. Fish can see algae before we can in many cases. 2. The conditions for algae are not correct. My advice is to buy sinking algae wafers for you algae eaters. Drop them in a couple hours before you turn the lights off. They contain extra vitamins etc. that fish won't get from just eating algae. Don't leave the algae disks in for more than and hour and remove what's left over, otherwise you'll begin polluting your tank water.
