.. how much waste a turbo snail can leave?

I have 1 in a 15 gal. BB grow-out tank
I need to siphon out it's poop every day

I wonder how much waste they put into a system verses how much algea they cause

all snails..

yea, cerith snails help get rid of the waste

My sexy shrimp eat my bicolor blennys poop. No matter how much I tell them that it is gross!

agreed ceriths will eat astrea poo and make it lighter to be carried into the skimmer.

 

[know-it-all]

sorry for the typo,
it should be how much algea they eat

anyway, sooooooo
I would need to add about 10 ceriths into my 15 gal
to take care of the mess this turbo is causing

why not just get rid of the turbo and keep all ceriths?

It's only in there because it keeps wedging itself behind the powerheads
and I can't stand the rattling

Turbos are better at algae removal IMO. Diversity is best IMO.
