I'm looking for options. Would like something that will fill the niche, that is eat algae and macro algae in a 60 gal reef. I have a Tail Spot Blenny that eats some of the micro algae off the live rock, but he doesn't really touch the macro algaes.
 
Yeah, a tang alternative would be needed for a 60 gal. cube. That is a tough find. At first, I didn't read enough and thought you were looking for the right tang.

What kind of macros are you trying to get rid of? I would just get a couple of blue tux urchins and let them have a go at it. Anything that would munch a lot on macros macros to make a difference fish-wise would be too large for a 60 cube imo.
