Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the zucchini and cucumber first. My tank is a 20-gallon with about a dozen snails, so hopefully, distracting them works.


A dozen isn't too bad, but if they're still a problem, consider reducing their numbers manually. Also, what's your lighting schedule? Too ...

Snails can be a real nuisance when they target healthy plants. Have you tried adding blanched vegetables like zucchini as an alternative food source? It often distracts them from the plants. Also, what's your tank size and snail population like?

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I'll test Mg and maybe switch to kalk in the ATO. My Alk's at 9 dKH, salinity 1.025. Appreciate the help!

I've been struggling to maintain stable calcium levels for my SPS corals. My tank is a 75-gallon mixed reef with Radion XR15s, running at 80% intensity for 10 hours daily. I dose two-part but my Alk stays steady while Ca drops fast. Anyone got tips on balancing this without messing with Mg?
