is your tank in a window? because that can cause algae to thrive
 
i would just take the time and hand clean it. i have my 29 near a window, but only to supply food to a bn pleco. how long does the light stay on for?
 
Even though pond snails can be a problem they will eat alot of algae. Added to that my Amano shrimp and Panda corys also act as a great clean up crew.
 
try feeding a little less and moving it away from the window, and like aquabeast said, try cleaning everything and doing a water change
 
Ok I don't Feed them probably enough actually and they eat all of it.. But my sister has 9+ snails because they had babies. Should I put one into mine? Or two? And then give them back when it's better,
 
certain snails stay small before they die by getting stuck to a filter tube, they reproduce so muc you have to keep up with them, i wouldnt do it, just clean the tank, move it away from the window and feed maybe 2 times a week. thats how my neons thrive.

ghost shrimp would be great for your tank as a clean up crew. they dont contribute to stock, or bioload so you can do as many as you please, i would do, like 10( im assuming its a 10 gallon) im not so sure they eat algae, but they still help.
