Exactly my thoughts.

I had 50+ snails turn into 5 or so after gettin a dozen blue legged hermits for my 125g. I removed them all and my snails actually multiply. I would also disagree with the turbo snail's as well. They get very large and will buldoze over your frags. Its not a good thing. I'd say get 50-100 nassarius snails if you plan a dense san bed and a large cucumber. Then get around 25 astrea or cirth's. They will be good for the glass and rocks.
