TUNZE MICRO ALGAE REACTOR VS TURBO SNAIL??

[Johny Cash]

Hello all

2 weeks ago i purchased a tunze micro algae reactor 3181, and toss some cheato algae in it, my nutrients levels are just now droping however i see hair algae growing in my reactor as well, cant really tell how much of it hair algae or if cheato is dying since i have little window to look into,

my question is
a) not worry about it either way its taking all the nutrients?
b) how can i clean the hair algae away from the cheato?
c) can i toss couple of turbo snails in the reactor? i wonder if they will survive since its air tight. Let me know if anyone has any idea if that will work?

I just also got the tunze reactor and stumbled across the same issue. Since this reactor is more like a separated refugium than our typical reactors, I believe small snails like turbo snails etc would do fine in there. I added 2 turbo snails to my reactor weeks ago and they seem to do fine
