I currently have 3 snails, an emerald crab, a sally lightfoot crab, and a hermit crab. I am now having an outbreak of brown algea and would like to know how many more cleaners I should have to help out.
astrea or turbo snails will eat the brown algae. I have a 29g and I have a mix of approx 26 cleaners in my tank:
1 emerald crab
15 small turbos
10 nassarius
the turbos take care of algae on my glass and rocks, and nassarius and emerald will take care of detritus on your substrate, this combination works very well for me so far. I stayed away from the hermits because i didn't want to litter my substrate with empty shells for them to move into when they get bigger.
