As some of you are aware, there is a somewhat heated debate on the use of Algae Scrubbers on a different thread. This poll applies to an Algae Turf Scrubber that people have mixed views on their effectiveness on claims that they control certain types of algae on the surfaces inside your display. It does not apply to any type of hand held device used to scrape/clean your glass.

If possible, please vote, but please do not provide any comment other than a yes or no reason that is not one of the choices already provided, that I may have not thought of.
I will hide the vote results to avoid any type of possible influence.
Thank you!

I thought I would be able to unhide the results after several days but it appears that I cannot. I took a snapshot and here are the results so far. I did not vote.
