That's fine. Flourite works fine, and it's prettier as well.

If you have access to both, use both.  They do not eat the same types of
algae.  I'd suggest 6 Otos and 3 SAE's in a 30G tank.

That's good, and that's the way you want to keep it.  It's much easier to
stay ahead of the algae than it is to play "catch up".
