Question snails and green algae

I purchased 8 Astrea snails for my 55 gallon tank. I have around 78-80 pounds of live rock. It is not a ton of green algae, but it is on some of the rocks and it is on the glass. I try to use my mag float to get it off of the glass, but it doesnt work. The algae is kind of hard. I went to the pet store and I bought an algae scrubbing brush, but that only works if I scrub and scrub and scrub the same spot for a long time. What do you guys think should I get some more snails? Maybe 10 or so? Or should I just use metal Scourers to get the algae off of the glass? I just dont want them to starve. The snails that i added to the tank are not really doing too much. They have moved around a little bit. They are on the rocks and glass, but they have not moved far from where i placed them on Saturday afternoon.

-Thank you
