Ive been having an issue with some algae. It looks like a brown stringy slim. I have inverts in my tank but only two snails are cleaning it idk why, I have more and they move they just arnt doing much. I beleve my problem started with my six line dying. Idk what caused his death tho. Maybe he tried to eat a bristle worm that was to big or maybe my other fish did it. Anyways I think that was the start. Then I was talking to this guy about a clean up crew and he told me I need a crazy amount of nass snails. So I order then 385 to be exact it was a ebay deak for 26 bucks. Put them in there within a couple days my take has greatly increased in the slime. It looks horrible. And I want it gone. I gave a bunch of snails away im prolly around 125 nass snails now. They dont do anything for my sand in which thats what I heard they are for. My astera and turbos do ok, and I have some crabs that move around. Would spaying the algae off help any? Or atleast help my snails to keep it under control? Thanks
