NO never use that stuff with zebs!
I have many snails in all my hypancistrus tanks and have never lost eggs due to snails, this is a myth.
Snails will only touch unfertilized and fungused eggs.
All i see is the positive side of the snails, they keep my tanks clean in corners that i can't reach
Greetings,
John

when i done it i took everthing out of the tank
the sand went in the bin
and i have put new caves in there cos snails can live out of water for a long time
if you do do this dont clean out your filtration
then the fish sould be fine
and if you can try and saves some of your old water i didnt cos i had snails in it
