    I've had the best luck with astrea and turbo snails, but nothing beats the hand wielding a brush.

    same here....my Turbo Snails do a pretty good job, but I still clean the glass by hand once or twice a month to get what they miss.

    The bset is a popular species called the mag-float ;) But seriously, my turbo's do a good job, as well as my blenny

    The human animal is the only one that will keep it totally clean.

    The Mag float is the best, now for the back glass my Mexican turbos do an excellent job
