Your definatly right on the snails arent a cure, but its like mowing your yard, thats not a cure either, but you do it right?
And i do have a great RO unit, got one cheap from AquaSafe on Ebay, id show you the link, but you'd prolly have a better hookup in NY.
You've caught me curiousity on the Jaw-Drop, im new to the SW hobby and dont have a great LFS selection (S.Dakota, lol) if you didnt shop at your great LFS's who would you rec for snails on the internet that dont have shocking prices? please share
