Well not all Mexican turbos are that big, actually a majority aren't that big, I have two and both about the size of my thumb.. One or two is perfect for that size tank.
It's not like they will automatically wipe clean your tank and have nothing left to eat from. There's always some algae for them, that's why we have CUCs, to keep the tank consistently clean because in a majority of the cases algae is always growing.

Unless you are dosing to remove phosphates and other types of things then ok maybe buy a very small CUC. But I wouldn't completely rule them out.

I've seen them pretty large but it's not typical. I think one in a 25 would be more fine. This tank has apparently been setup for awhile and it's still doing fine it seems
