Dare I ask what kind of 'uglies' they were? Still sounds good. But were you talking about hair algae, film algae, or something else? Think they have a chance against a forest of hair algae like what I've got?Thos astrea snails will do some work. I put 5 in when my nuvo 10 was going through the uglies and they had it spotless in 2 days

I knew that about the phosphates, to an extent. How long are those rocks gonna have phosphates coming out of them? I mean I cured them pretty decently.As far as your algae is concerned.....recently i restarted my tank bare bottom. This is my first bare bottom mind you and the amount of crap that accumulates in/on the sand you don't really see is astonishing. Once a week in my 5 gallon water change i will be siphoning out the crap. This could be contributing to your nutrients/algae issue. Not to mention the type of what looks to be dry rock you are using can sometimes carry high phosphates because it comes from a quarry.
I had the same issue with phosphates leaching. I had to do an acid bath and restart my 40B.
