Hi bro, am not sure if there are any snails avail to clear GSA problems... Have Ramshorn & common pond snails in my tank when GSA hit my tank, but just see them slide pass all the spots without even tasting it... Eventually had to used an expired credit card to scrape off the GSAs manually lor...

But maybe you'd like to solve the problem by looking at your water parameters in order to prevent them from coming back in another 8 months' time (TOUCHWOOD!!!). For me, I adjusted the dosing regime of my liquid ferts & lights-on duration to prevent it from visiting me again... Maybe some of the more pro bros/sis in here can offer much better advises...

Cheers!

Myself, I will dose PO4 to help to minimise Green Spot Algae.

I understand it is unsightly. Old cards will do a fine job in scraping off the GSA
