turbos suck...and will get huge...they also seem to be short lived in Nano's..
Substrate crew: Nassarius Snails Fighting Conch Strawberry conch <---my favorite sand sifting star Glass: Astrea snails nassarius will spend some time here too Rocks: Margarita snails Trochus snails Cerith snails turbos <---- my least favorite also blue leg hermits will do a good job everywhere as will scarlet hermits..

Three turbos are all the grazing snails you need. BTW I love them but there isn't enough food for them in my tanks. They eat just about anything
 .For the substrate the nassarius are your best choice. Conchs can get too big for nano tanks and a sandsifting starfish will eventually starve there. A lot of people don't like hermit crabs but I think they do more good than bad. My preference is scarlet hermits, they're less aggressive and better looking too than the other choices. jmo,
