The one disadvantage about the top hats is the size.... they tend to knock corals down if they are not glued. With that being said one top hat is keeping the tank algae free and I dont have any experience with the turbo snails as JL always had bad batches of them.

![]() I've looked into that, and it's been suggested before, but if I don't filter out all the dead algae, it'll just release the PO4 back into the water, won't it ?
