I use RO water, a window exists above the back glass, however, I have blinds that are always shut! I have added loads of snails, but seemingly they always die off - but I feel like that's due to lack of food.Having snails such as astrea, nerite, cerith and trochus, mine is totally clear
If sunlight is hitting it from a nearby window, this will be part of the problem as well as any use of tap water

What is your phosphate level?

When I had phos lower it caused way more algae issued then I have now, but I'll get them lowered a little as this is the highest I've ever ran them.25 phos is high. you want .05 - .1

I have noticed that my magnesium is godly low at like 1155. I am actively bring that back into the 1350 range.
