Cerith and Trochus snails have worked well for me, in general. You could start with of each and see how things went. I would suggest posting in the New to the Hobby forum, and looking there, as well, since this topic comes up quite a bit.

The Mexican Turbo snail works wonders. The larger the better.

Turbo snails are ok and live longer but astraea snails do a better job! I would get 5-6 for that tank
