Default Snail shells

Is there a point at which you should remove dead snail shells? When
vacuuming the aquarium I can see shells rising in the vacuum tube, although
they don't get to the top of the tube and get sucked out, but there is
getting to be a lot. They seem to be mostly at the back of the tank amongst
the plants, so looks isn't a problem. Thanks.

I'd only worry if my water hardness (kH and gH) started going up too much.
