Your hands, a good scrub brush and a gravel vacuum :)

There aren't any really any other fish you can put in with ceylons because they will kill them. And there aren't any brackish algae eaters, at least not commonly available.

yeah thats about it I'm afradi, even if you tried to take the ceylon to marine conditions the usula cleanup crew would become dinner before thay tackled the algae. Bets thing to do is find out what is causing the algae in the first place, sunlight hitting the tank, not enough water changes or overfeeding, wrong type of bulb or bulb too old can all increase the algae issue
