So after finding out what was wrong with my tank set up - I drove down to Jersey and picked up a ALB BN Pleco. Here are some pics! Also any tips and help would be appreciated!

Cool! I got one recently too. Pretty hardy, but an important tip for people who keep plecos, algae is only their main food source when young. After that, they only eat it sometimes.

I am, its in the 20g thats been stable for years now. Then when my 30g is stable ill switch him in. They had him marked as a ABN BN but knowing the LFS' here they would mismark him instead of an ABN Longfin BN. He's doing good though, he's not shy at all. He's been swimming everywhere.

Ya, because males dont get full bristles till they are a bit older. Youll have to wait to be sure. :)

IPhone 4? Really? I know the hd apple cameras take good video, but mi ithouch 4 takes horrible pics, but it's got an hd camera! Lucky-lol

Haha yeah, the phone itself is blah but the camera is nice quality, it gets alot of detail when its not zoomed in. When its zoomed in it loses alot of quality. The first 2 pictures werent zoomed in but the 3rd one was.
