So I've had this problem of not being able to keep the majority of snails alive. Any new snails I add seem to die within a couple days.
Current cuc is
2 turbos
1 blue legged hermit
4 nassarius
3 bumblebee
Any other sort of algae eating snails are dead within days. I added 2 turbos on thursday night and I have already lost one. There appears to be lots of algae to eat. I can see the trail on the back wall the one made as it ate.
Params are:
Temp 77
Salinity 1.025
Nitrate 5ppm
Phos 0.107ppm
Copper 0
Mag 1380
I use ro/di water. Acclimate to match salinity and temp.
