What kind of bulbs are they? Have you tried to increase your lighting?

Here's what I'm referring to: http://www.aquascapingworld.com/algaepedia/full_view_algae.php?item_id=78

What I would try to do is remove your snails if possible. Let the algae grow for 3-3.5 weeks and than remove it with a battery powered vac like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003OYOPNW/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1372953769&sr=8-7&pi=SL75 It comes with an attachment that removes algae off the glass quite well.

The reason I say remove your snails is because when they clean a path it means new algae is going to grow there, so if you clean your glass at 3 weeks some of the algae is younger than that and will release spores.

Another option is to add a dose of hydrogen peroxide after cleaning the tank glass, it will kill the spores when they are released(this needs to be done carefully): http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/Hydrogen_peroxide

I think that the Eheim one is a huge ripoff (I think it's around $50). I just got the TOM's Mr. Cleaner one for $12 and it worked great for me. I've only used it once though and I used it to just suck poop off the top of the sand without the gravel head attachment, so it might be great for a bare bottom tank too (no idea on longevity though since I just got it):

Not from requested regions, but this is what I could think of:

  1. To remove solid waste, using recirculating gravel cleaner, with a bag, that could be replaced by 50 micron pad, shaped to a bag. Discard after use. Mesh of Eheim gravel cleaner pulverizes poop too much. This one looks even better, custom mechanical media could be added.

  2. Floating plants to remove nitrates. Discard excess of them from time to time.

  3. Disposable filter floss in the filter, changed frequently.

  4. Granulated activated carbon should absorb excreted substances that can't be tested. Changed frequently too. It requires pre-washing, but this could be done in limited amount of water.

  5. If something has to be siphoned out, thin rigid tubing with airline, attached to it, would reduce amount of removed water.

  6. See if Chihiros Doctor device could help with general tank health.

I've been considering buying this instead:

https://www.amazon.com/KollerCraft-Cleaner-Battery-Operated-Gravel/dp/B003OYOPNW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1474004750&sr=8-5&keywords=gravel+vac

It doesn't remove or replace the water though.

I've also considered buying just the part of the Python that attaches to the sink and the tubing, then buying a length of tubing to reach as far as I need and using the end of the simple gravel vac I already have. All I would really be missing is the shut off valve at the end, so I would have to turn the water on and off at the sink.
