#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#hey guys i was going through my brown alage stage and i could see the light at the end of the tunnel. My brown alage started to dissapear and green alage was appearing in its place. well i then put in a turbo snail and man does this guy poop alot. well my green alage dissapeared and now i have dark brown alage again?? is it because of the turbo snail? what should i put in my tank to reduce the amount of snail poop in my tank?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

throw in some hermit crabs, you might want to get a lawmower blenny also they are algae eating machines

I would get at least 20 blue legged hermits they are small and not too menacing, do you have any other snails besides the turbo? If not you might want to try some cerith snails and astrea snails are good.
