SaltyNoob... I'd add more snails... what is your phosphate level??

Here's another...

Lighting will not cause algae... nutrients in the water will. If you tank is new it’s normal to go through different stages of algae blooms. What are the water’s parameters? How long has it been set up? What’s in it and what kind of cleaners do you have?

Turn it on... it will help polish the water.

The mini brittle is normally a hitchhiker. The ones you buy get MUCH bigger. The largest ones I have are about 1 1/2" to 2" across the arms. The normal size brittles do need to be spot feed sometimes but these little guys just feed on particals they catch.

Not sure but glass tops covering the tank are a bad idea IMO. Most PCs come with a glass/plastic cover on the light itself which is ok but covering the tank will hold in heat & hinder gas exchange.

It's crazy... this is the largest concentration I found tonight but they are also all over the rest of the tank pretty thick… and floating around like crazy. They have no predators and I keep everything feed pretty well. There is also an abundance of bristle worms, spaghetti worms, pods and...

Both are good. Calcium reactors tend to lower the tank's PH so the kalk reactor may be your best option. Kalk tends to increase the tank's PH.
