I recently had the Exact same problem with my 90 gal FW tank...I found that the loaches would eat the brown mystery snails but left the apple snails alone...I went to a LFS and asked if they had any snail bait or traps and was suggested to take a pill bottle (thoroughly cleaned of course), put some algae disks in and poke holes just big enough for them to get in and in a day or so check yer traps...My tank is almost completely clear now in a matter or weeks.

I hope that helps!
