Tank Pest - Snail! Options

[white horse T1]

bloody hell, the planting campaign in my sump tank has infested my tank with snails. plant also must quarantine.....wah lao. nobody tell me leh.

and this tiny buggers kept coming back eventhough i kill more than 50 alr in 2 go. they just kept crawling back from no where.

bought the Snail Stop potion to do them up once and for all with concentrated salt solution. I reckon it will take 2 weeks to rid them once and for all. LHS ask me to buy puffer fishes. tell them no thanks, i stick to snail posion.

aiya i not stupid.

Plan

1. Cut off the pump supply from sump tank to main tank, main tank will be aerated using sponge filter instead for 3 hrs. So sump tank water is disconnect with main tank.

2. Concoct concentrated salt solution and "KILL SNAIL" potion and wash it down in sump tank together with the filter element.

3. Let it soak for 3 hrs.

4. Remove all filter element into pail. Siphon main tank water to wash down the filter elements. kill off any tiny crawlers remaining in the sump tank.

5. Dump all filter mat and sponge filter in case the eggs are still attached there.
replace all filter elements back in sump tank.

6. Introduced de-chlorinated tap water into sump tank via main tank. start sump pump again.

7. Repeat process after 1 week.
