Okay I need all the help I can get now, my small cleaner crew is not able to keep up with all the algea so I need to beef it up.Here are the contents that I have:
3-blue leg hermits
1-Peppermint shrimp
3-Astrea snails

Now here are the two qeustions
1.who should I add to help?
and
2.HOw many of each should I add?
 
What kind of algae are you having problems with?
 
well hair aglea, some sorta blackish algea green tufts on the substrate and the walls are covered.
oh and its a 55g too
 
what size is your tank?
 
I got some Cerith snails and those things seem to be beasts.. they cover ground fast and eat pretty much everything that any other snail would..
 
You could put a lot more hermits and snails in there, I have a 75g tank with around 15 scarlet and 15 blue leg hermits, 10 trochus snails, 10 nerite snails, 10 nassarius snails, and a couple of smaller turbo snails
