Hi - Im a fretting newbie in Need some advice please guys.
Have a new heavy planted set up, 180l not even 2 weeks old. Found tiny snails in the tank last night, so obviously come on the plants. Ive spotted 4 so far which have been exterminated by my finger! Will these kind of snails grow big? Should i get rid of them by intervention? I dont have any fish yet as the tank is only cycling at present.
I also saw what im assuming is some kind of larvae, tiny white worm that moved like a caterpillar? Ive only spotted a few.
Thrid problem im encountering is some opaque very fine threat algae forming on my struggling / melting HC and gloss.
Would a combination of assassin snails and a dozen shrimp tackle my problems? (obviously this wont help the HC or gloss!) or should i get some chemicals and kill everything?
All advice would be much appreciated!
