We've got snails

Got my 5 apple snails this morning

they have settled in nicely
(although they didnt like trying to right themselves on sand)

will snail slime dissolve? otherwise I'm not too sure about the sandy goop

I don't know about disolving...slime will break down biologically over time unless there are bad filtration issues. Usually slime shouldn't build up unless the snails are stressed; they produce excess slime in response to a lot of things (unless you breed them like me, then there's slime lying about just from the sheer number of snails lol).

Yeah, it'll dissipate. I have a big Apple, a tiny one, a Ramshorn and several MST's and occasionally there's slime trails but they either dissolve or are eaten fairly quickly.

since the post - i've got over the initial slime trails.

I think it was them getting used to the tanks. they dont leave slimy trails around now

i got a new one today too
