Dont you think 70 is alittle overboard for a 90? I have a 90 and 10 are more then anough, I got them when they were about 1/2" and are now around 1-1/2". And you see them all the time just seems 70 turbos would be a bit overkill and a eye sore..... JMO. My cleaner crew in my 90 is 10 turbos, 10 nassurius, 10 blue legged hermits, 10 scarlet hermits, cleaner shrimp, coral banded shrimp, 3 pepperment shrimp, and 1 diamond watch goby.They all seem to do the job good.

No they are not the same. Nassarius snails mainly stays in your sandbed and stir the sandbed as well. Turbos does a great job cleaning your glass and rocks. :happyfish
