I have added a new light to my 10 gallon tank and I'm guessing since it's so much better and brighter it has grown a huge amount of brown algea on the rocks and glass.

I went to the LFS and asked for turbo snails or any algea cleaning animals and they sold me Nassarius Snails. Now I'm reading the Nassarius Snails don't really clean the algea and just sift the sand. I am scraping the algea off the glass but what do I do about it on the rocks? What should I get?

There are 2 LFS I can go with but both seem to only have the Nassarius Snails that they try to sell you as algea cleaning snails. Will they clean my algea eventually?
