How many turbo snails and how may blue leg and red leg crabs do I need for a 55 gal tank for a good cleaning setup? Also how do I get purple algae to grow?
I'd go real light on the hermits, try the scarletts instead of blue legs. Turbos are OK but get big and bulldoze stuff. a variety of snail species is good. Nassarius snails are great for the sand bed and an assortment of trochus, nerites, satrea, margarites etc will round out the herd and target specific algaes
