SQUEEZE MEATHOD

Re: Surfactant
I like the snails idea. only thing is this is a brackish water tank. I don't think regular snails will like the water and it will kill them. Besides I have bought snails about 5 times and They never last in my tanks... always curling up and dying.

Re: Surfactant
yes I will definately quit using the stuff. I will continue my search. Usually I am really good at finding things. but something as simple as ammonia that cost under 1.00 is so hard to find. Pretty sad
