I haven't ventured into the world of snails yet, so I'm no help. But I'm bumping this for you because I'm sure there are plenty of people out there with suggestions :) How did the Rhomb Barbs work out? I had to google those, they are pretty interesting looking!
Hey there - thanks for checking in :)
I turned up the heat to about 86F-88F and have been treating with Rid Ich +. Last night was actually my last treatment. Tonight I'll be running some carbon and doing a water change/final gravel vac and starting to lower the temp slowly over many days.

Currently treating my tank for Ich. Since I'm leaving the lights off, I've moved the bulbs into a vase and am keeping them on the deck so they can get some light. Still have some of that gooey fungus stuff occasionally, but I just rinse it off under the faucet. No sprouting yet!
