So I have a new 220 gallon tank cycled and now I'm starting to see some GHA.
I don't have any clean up crew in there yet, just 2 clowns that I feed lightly.
What is the best way to control now and preventing this from getting out of hand?

I was going to add 10-15 snails to see if that helps, I don't think I want to add too many more because its still a newer tank....not enough for all them to live on.
 
Pull it out by hand to keep it in check and then you need some snails to eat away the short pieces you can’t pull. My emerald crabs prob ate more gha than my snails though.
