I agree fish are a bit nicer to look at then snails. My yellow tang its the algea pretty well but theres only so much he can do, ill have another tang coming in a few days, maybe that will help.

My snails keep my glass pretty clean but theres only 5 or so turbos, ive never seen a snail on the rocks yet. Ive heard astreas so maybe ill try some of those. Thats if i can find some
