Ok so my sump is getting a little algae and other build up could I put a small amount of snails in it or how does everybody else deal with it ? I'm gonna put some macro and mud in anyways and there is a killer hermit (he killed 6 other smaller crabs that I saw)

I just use a powerhead in my sump to keep all the detritus in suspension for the skimmer to deal with.

I dont worry about it, if algea grows in the sump.... sure beats having it in the display ;)

Also if your adding in the killer crab, you will probably lose the snails anyways
 

How much do you care about having a display FREE of wires, pumps and equipment?
