I have finally decided to sey up my first dirted tank after reading this thread entirely. Learned so much and sad to see it come to an end. Hope all is well with Cyptkeeper

Boo!

I'm still around. My tank is doing fine. Getting ready to redo it with some new driftwood.

Gorgeous tank

It has been a long time since I have been posting. I need to get back here more often. I work 60-70hrs a week now so that is killing my time

looking good!

Looks good bro.

I just redid my tank last weekend. I had an algae and snail break out that I couldn't get under control. Ended up tearing the whole thing down and setting it back up. Had to throw away tons of plants

Anyone who could help a brother out with some snail free plants would be appreciated

Glad I have tons of topsoil and supplies!

Get a nano tank with dwarf puffers and stick um in your main tank everytime your snail infestation gets to be too much. Snails will be gone within a few days.

Won't the puffers eat my nerite snails too?

That is a bummer on the tear down and restart.

I have too many snails to provide you with plants. But would if you didn't mind the snail when ever I do a trim.

What about small loaches for snail control?

I have 2 small loaches but they are killing my nerites.

Awesome thread. Sorry about the tear down and restart. The dwarf puffers are great for snail control. I have to actually replenish my snails atleast once a month or they start fighting each other for food. They haven't went after my nerites that I have noticed.
To bad I didn't know about a month ago you wanted plants I gave away a great plant package.
Good luck on your restart.
