Nice!! You gonna address any snails or throw them in ? I dont want any in my sump
 
Gonna get rid of them. Cant afford any choking hazards.
 
Probably will be going the water/bleach route for cleaning.

Lol....no prob will do!
 
If you do a quicker dip it shouldnt hurt the plants. I would just remove what snails you can, especially eggs. They look like transparent little goo balls about half the size of a pinky thumb nails on the undersides of leaves usually

Be sure to quarantine the plants, they are typically harvested from pretty nasty conditions, unless its from a friends tank or pond, then you maybe alright

How would you qt them ? Right now they are.just in a bucket of water. How long would you donthe dip for ? And how do you feel about the ratio of 19 to 1 water to bleach ratio ?

Would the dip suffice in killing off any nasties ? They were purchased from a nursery
 
The best one is potassium permaganate. You might try dipping(completely submerging) them quickly in methylene blue. The bleach not 100% sure. Keep in mind parasites hitch hike in on plants as easy as fish
