Hi,
I tried the waterline way and it had a 20% success rate...so I won't be trying that any time soon. Sure, they were fine for a day or so. They weave between the waterline and then they die. I lost a batch of snails that way.
I like to acclimatize by putting the bag of snails in the refugium and do 20% water changes on an hourly basis. After about 4 hours, I slowly release them in to my tank. If the salinity between the snail water and the tank water is very large, then I would give them more time to acclimatize. Do you know what salinity your snails are from ?
