While snails do eat algae, it is minimal, meaning, they cannot deal with a problem of increasing algae. The only safe way to deal with this is by tweaking the balance between light and nutrients so the plants use all the light/nutrients and algae is left out.
In order to assess the balance, we will need to have data on the light (type, watts, spectrum, etc) and what if any fertilizers you are adding and how often.
[Just so you know, I will be signing off momentarily and back here tomorrow, so don't think I am ignoring you if you give this and I don't respond.]
And questions are never the problem; we are all here to learn and share what we have learned.
Yes, this makes sense.
I don't have a lot of algae to be honest, just a little bit here and there on my plants, but nothing crazy. Maybe I just have algae OCD hahaha
You have been such a great help, thank you so much
