I'm not 100% sure, but more like 99.99% sure, that I think my turbo snails scratch my glass sometimes when they clean. There shells get that extra long or calcium build up and when the Scoot and suck along the glass. ... it grinds and leaves scratch marks. ..and I can't just buff out my glass inside the water lol. I don't use any tools or scrapers that would do it. And I don't drag my rock along my glass either. So I blame my snails. Idk what to do because they ate a huge part of my clean up crew, so I took them out. But at the same time, I need them to control the waste and algae. What can I do?
 
I use a magfloat to clean my glass with, but every single time I use it, I check for sand and I check while I'm scrubbing to make sure none gets in between. Btw
 
I doubt it's the snails.
If you are seeing scratch marks, it's probably the mag float.
