Anyone use it? Is it effective?

I've never heard of it. . . . got a link by any chance? Is it some kind of chemical snail pesticide? If it is, I wouldn't trust it.

You'd be better off going with a natural snail remover. Loaches work well, supposedly some gouramis eat snails, and in a *pinch*, your fingers will do!

I dont have any room to add snail eating fish. I heard a few copper pennies in the filter does well, but i dont know how it will effect my fish.

Had a snail is copper sulfate unless I'm mistaken. It's real nice for killing plants and if you squirt it directly on a snail it might get a headache.

Seriously though, the natural methods are best. I tried the Had-A-Snail once for some pest snails and all it did was kill the plants in that tank... the snails survived it.
