Like moonie said, all snail treatments tend to do is harm plants. Half the time they don't even get rid of the snails. The best way to do it if you can't get snail eating fish (dwarf puffers, clown loaches, etc.) would be the pennies in the filter trick. Just make sure it's older pennies so they still have that copper in 'em. What's the year again? 19?7 -Formerly known as the Ferretfish
