what does everyone think about that.

That's BS. More like one snail for every 10-15 gallons, pending on the severity of your algae problem. Truth be told though, you're probably better off getting a good magnet cleaner...

Edit: my personal feelings on this are that cleaning crew stocking recommendations are the biggest scam in livestock. I can't think of a single case where such a high density maintains itself past the first four weeks.
