snails have laid eggs all over my tank!!!
in all the nooks and crannys...
ive removed the snails,
but what do i do to/with the eggs
if i stab at the clumps with a pipette, will it kill the babies?

or what...

there's at least 10 clumps of eggs

cheers,
iain

just remove the eggs.

but with what?

Is it just the look of the eggs you don't like? Most of the young will die if there is nothing for them to feed on, which there wont be if there's no decaying matter in the tank.

there'll be plenty for them to eat i assume...
because i have MANY algae eaters, so i feed algae wafers

Well then they'll keep multiplying, just remove the egg clutches as you find them.

I don't think that happens very often without an underlying cause like overfeeding
