well you could do an amonia over dose, what would be ideal really,as it would help build the cycle anyways

What do I do about "snail plague"?

Snails, like algae ,can be both a blessing and a nuisance in tanks. Some species will burrow into the gravel and keep it from being compacted, others will eat Algae. However some will reproduce unchecked and become a pain in the bum.
There are treatments on the market for treating tanks with a snail explosion however care should be taken that in killing the snails you don't pollute the tank as inside the shells they are all meat and killing a lot in one go can cause problems. I normally like to try other methods first and a good tip is to tie a cube of meat to a piece of cotton and put it in the tank overnight, before you switch the light on in the morning pull out the cube and you should have snails on the cube which you can dispose of. Don’t switch on the light first though or they will all drop off and you are back to square one. Needless to say if you have this problem always remove any you see on the glass or ornaments with a fine net and dispose of them.
Clown loach eat snails and I always like to have some in any tank as a natural means of controlling them, however if you put some in your tank remember that clown loach have skin not scales, so if ever you dose your tank with medication only use half doses at any one time.
