What do you do when a algae eater dies?
Remove him from the aquarium immediately and dispose of him. Determine what caused his death: was he diseased? If so, you may have to treat your aquarium before replacing him with another algae eater. Or you can simply resign yourself to a bigger job of removing algae from your aquarium without his help.

Can you kill algae by just using algaecide?
Actually, algaecide does not do the actual killing of the algae. It strips the cell walls of the algae and allows the chlorine (hypochlorus acid) to do its job. So algaecide works great as a preventative since it makes the algae much more vulnerable to the chlorine. I typically add 4-6 ounces of Polyquat algaecide per week as a preventative. A side benefit of Polyquat is that it also acts as somewhat of a clarifier.
