I have a 80 gallon with a bad algae problem and cloudy water. So i bought some red legged crabs, cerith snails, nassurlus snails, and a diamond goby. What else should i get?

cloudy water??? did you put a buffer in? did you stir anything up any? how long has it been cloudy? how many watts per gallon are you at? what are your phosphates? Do you jus have algae growing on your walls or do u have hair algae and stuff???
I have turbos and they eat like madsnails, good consideration
