Pmdd, Algae And High Phosphates!

Thanks there are plenty of hiding places for the shrimp so I think it sounds like a good idea. The snails are not doing the job fast enough! Amano shrimp are quite easy to find too. I had a little shrimp in my baby tank (mollies) but the horrible assassin snail ate him. I bought it to control the explosion of tiny snails in the tank but I guess he had his sights set on something bigger.
Thanks again and hope your weekend is going well
