    Today I noticed a bunch of what I can only describe as tiny green pellets in the center of the tank.

    Please tell me it is not margarita snail poop, there is no way 4 snails can poop that much overnight

    Wonderful. Other than trying to vacuum crevices any way to clean it up? Any scavengers that will do the job?

    I wouldn't worry too much about it but you could vacuum it during wc's. I wouldn't add too many snails as they will starve in your tank.You see how efficient they are.

    Never had a nano all in one, how often should I change the 3 filter media in the baskets?

    I used to rinse out the sponge (mechanical) once or twice a week but I did not feed heavily. I changed out the carbon (Chemipure elite like every other month) and the Purigen about every 3 months.
