No place for reactor I use two bags of chemi pure elite for some gfo. The algae is, I would say, very light and thin (cannot notice from front side but by looking through the side) and scrubber easily takes care of it. So snails should work maybe?

imo snails are junk lol sure they eat algae but they are slow,destructive,hard to keep track of and inconsistent.

if you dont want algae starve it its that simple, algae needs certain things to grow.

if you do it right all you will see of algae is that tiny little film on the glass a once over with a magfloat will take care of that stuff in seconds.

all your rock shouldnt be too close to the glass that a magfloat or algae scraper cant get to it.
