Re: cleaning algae
Fill it with water and add a strong bleach, scrub it with a sponge, just make sure you rinse it well after with a garden hose to get rid of any bleach. This always worked for me. Fill it with water first and let it sit overnight then add the bleach and stir it up good and let it sit for a couple of hours then scrub. With a 55g I would use about four or five gallons of Clorox bleach, non scented, the regular cheap stuff.

Re: cleaning algae
White vinegar is supposed to work well. Also a razor blade scraper is good.

Better use the bleach, it will cut your cleaning time in half!
