How do you get rid of the turbo poop??????

I have the same problem with hair algae and hear that Mexican Turbos will eat it, but everywhere I've looked, everyone is out of Mexican Turbos. I have emerald crabs, but haven't noticed them eating the hair algae. I need to wait and try to order some Mexican Turbos myself.

Let me know if you find a solution.

I do not have a gravel vac. I was hoping there was something out there that would eat the poo......... (yuck)

Hermits and Brittle Stars sometimes do.

how do you do water changes?

you can also buy a turkey baster and suck it out that way for like 3 bux

I love the turkey baster idea...HAHA, but hey I think I will try it.
I change 1/3 of my water every other week. Has anyone bought live rock from saltwater fish Company?? I like the hermits I guess I can try a couple of those too.
