I have a hi tech planted 20g tall tank and I am upgrading to a 29g in the near future. I have tetras, a dwarf gourami, and a bunch of red cherry shrimp. I also have tiny snails that hitched their way into my tank on plants. I am dosing the tank with flubendazole to try to kill them, but its now been 3 days with daily dosing and I still see snails moving. When I have to take everything down to start my new tank, how do I make sure I don't take any snails? with me to my new tank? do I need to bleach the entire system and start over cycling the tank? will the bleach ruin my ECO complete substrate? or will it still work fine after the tank is re-cycled? I would just get some loaches, but I like the shrimp. Or if I re-house the shrimp into my shrimp tank, would a couple yoyo loaches completely eliminate all snails in a couple months?
