killing vermetid snails
Is there any kind of "chemical warfare" I can use against them, if I put the liverock in a tank by itself?
What kills snails, anyway?? |

Superglue/manual removal/crushing/scraping etc etc are good methods of control, but I want utter annihilation. There could (would) be eggs or tiny ones surviving these conventional warfare tactics.
I like the hypo idea ... Anybody else?? |

Dude, just get a couple of emerald crabs. They'll be gone in a couple of weeks. If you don't jive to the thought that you have crabs, then trap out the crabs and give them to someone else. You're never going to completely eradicate them, short of boiling everything.
