I think your mag float will be the way to go because even turbo snail are not going to clean 100% the entire glass no matter how many you put in the tank and if you put too many they will starve, die and pollute the water.
I don't think a pleco could be able to remove the hard corralline on glass if there was such thing in freshwater so saltwater is a very different thing.

By that I mean, it must be able to clean the entire glass tank in one or two days. All my freshwater tanks have at least one bristlenose pleco and it keeps the glass looking clean enough that I hardly ever have to use a magnet. Is there such an animal for saltwater?
