I believe nas snails are primarily scavengers. Mine come out the minute food hits the water, but stay in the sand the rest of the time.
My ceriths are constantly working on algae, and they hit the sand, the glass, and the rocks. They are great, but very very very very very slow.

As hydrometers age they can absorb salt and become less accurate. The excess salt will cause them to float higher than they should and so your SG will show higher than it really is.
