My salinity dropped to 1.023! My Tiger Conch and a Mexican turbo snail also died. Could that be the reason or is something killing them? When I saw the dead Mexican turbo snail, there was a bumblebee snail on top of it.
 
I wouldn’t think at that level would kill your cuc. The bumblebee snail is just doing its job cleaning up the carcass. Pictures of your awesome tank looks pretty algae free? Could have starved. My tank is in the same situation and I drop in algae wafers every other day.
 
I also realized that my old heater was not correct, when I used the new tester it gave me another temperature and I confirmed it with 2 more thermometers, I thought my temperature was 78.5° when in reality it is 76.5°

I have algae but very little and I also always drop a little extra food on the bottom so that everyone can eat, but it could be yes, the tiger conch had been in the same place for several days and I got worried and took it out and realized that there was nothing inside and the Mexican turbo snail was face up when I noticed it but it was in a matter of 2 hours because at noon it was not in that place, that is why I did not think that it had died from being face up in such a short time.
 
Finished my "clam slurry". Family hates it, fish like it. I have to triple bag it if I want it to stay in the freezer... LOL.
 
But it comes in the form of fish food? I feed the fish with this 2 times a week
