We have/ had live plants in our tank until we got snails. when we noticed the snails we did a 360 clean of the tank (boiled gravel, 100% water change, bleached the tank and did a bleach dip with the plants), this being said I REALLY don't want snails again so how long should I keep the plants in a separate container for before adding them back into the tank? The tank is recycling as we did such a huge clean but hoping that's it for the snails!

The only surefire way to not get snails is to buy tissue cultured plants.

That being said, most people make a bigger deal out of snails than they actually are. Their population is easily controlled by feeding.
