do you find that snails actually do anything in your tank? when i first started i kept about 100 snails in a 90 gal and they where always on the glass, now i have a 200 gal and no snails. i dont see a difference.
seriously maybe i just got lazy snails but in my experience they dont clean anything. is my experience the oddity or the norm?

I need snails that are more prone to eating hair algae.. I think they are mexican turbo's and another kind.. I forget the names. These are the kind I'm after...

I do find snails help... film algae or patches I get on the glass is taken care of by my snails.. they definitely don't make a huge difference by any means. I just want some that will tackle bits of sprouting hair algae. I am sick of sea hares as they always find my intakes.
