Acro Frag Tank Folks:

What snails to use in Acro Frag tanks ?
My Acro Frag Tanks (2) are 48 x 18 x 12.

The Astrea and Trochus and too big and are running into my densely overpacked frags. 😁

I have ordered some Nerite, Margarita, and Cerith snails.
 
I don't have acros but cerith snails have been the least annoying in my frag tank. I love nassarius for their utility but they plow everything over.
 
Turbos and Money Cowries do the heavy lifting in my frag tank. I also have Euplica and Stomatella to get in between all of the frags. They all play a role.

Thanks for mentioning Stomatella snails! I don't ever plan to have a tank without them. They do great work - and absolutely annihilate cyano!
