Killing snails

[GTR]

I have three tanks here at my shop to help pass the time. All three tanks are full of snails.

I'd like to take some plants to my home tank but don't want to introduce the snails. Somehow I've managed to keep them out of that tank.

I have some potassium permanganate that I used to kill off the SW nudi that infested my montipora. If done right it would kill the nudi and it's eggs and not the coral. Will this work as a dip for the plants? If so any suggestions on time and strength?

Toss your plants in a bucket of non dechlorinated tap water for two or three days. Since you have some KMnO4, a dip in purple water wouldn't hurt anything. Potassium Permanganate, KMnO4, about 1/4 tsp to 4 gal, or until the water turns a nice pink-purple. For more go to ✒http://www.plantgeek.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1445
