Either way I took the lamps out of the tank I'm moving them to when they get bigger.

You can have lights in a tank, but you have to make sure that the snails can't get near them so they can't burn themselves.

There is no such thing as too many snails. There is such thing however, as too few.

I surprisingly have interests other than snails, although I can't quite remember what they are...

Oh yeah, other bugs!

Ah yes, forgot about LEDs. They pretty much rule
