Nice! Did you see Marty's article on use of CO2 to get rid of millipedes? It's on the home page (burried a bit, though) under articles. I'd try this in future rather than chemicals. http://www.orchidboard.com/eliminate...pests-with-co2

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

re
Snails are hard to kill with CO2. First eggs don't need O2, second, small ones need really little, third those just don't die with it.
Ferramol, is a great product. It is great for plants, because the key ingredient is iron fosfate. So it actually works as a fertilizer after bacteria digest it. Second it is really powerful snail killer. Third it is completely healthy for my poison frogs and for human.

Wow, very nice tank. The CO2 will kill the snails and slugs. True it won't kill the eggs, that's why the CO2 treatment will need to be repeated. It will work trust me, it did for me. Don't skimp on dry ice, make sure you overflow the tank with it, then top it off an hr later...You'll need to move the frogs into another tank of course  I wouldn't trust any substances with frogs around, they're just too delicate

I still wouldn't use it around my frogs. Just because it's natural does not make it safe...afterall arsenic and cyanide are also naturally occurring. Yes, I'm very ignorant when it comes to my frog tanks
I know frogs are extremely sensitive so I adopted zero tolerance policy myself (personal preference). Even if the frog survives, it may stop or no longer breed for you or the occurrence of SLS may increase in the offspring. If you use it and if it works and you can still breed your frogs successfully be sure to post back. I'm curious.
