You get Snail in your tank reason due to the plants you add in your tank....

When you buy plants from LFS...there might be carrying snail or snail's eggs...that's the reason why there is so much snail in your tank suddenly...

1.Manually remove by using air pipe to suck them...or...
2.Squeeze them when ever you see them crawling on the glass...

I think you overfeed, so the snails got chance to breed.
Can add killer snail
