hi, i ended up cleaning the tank down to bare bones, took uot all the
fish, bleeched it all down, dipped all the plants (was just java fern)
rocks and wood in a potasium permanginate solution and rebuilt the tank.
its cycling now but (touch wood) all the snails are gone.

I found one or two snails left on the wood, so i put them on the top of
the tank and they arnt moving, so i assume there dead (2days and
counting).

It would be very easy to just dipp all plants and decorarion in the tank
in a pottasium permanginate solution (leave for 15 mins) and then rince
it off, it has no adverse side effecrts on anything and will kill snails
and there eggs instantly.

hope that helped Craig
