Recently I've been having trouble keeping snails in the tank, and I haven't known why. Today I came up with a theory: What if putting dry soda ash or calcium directly into the sump ISN'T a good idea? I know you are supposed to mix it. At first I only had 1 little pump going into my tank. By the time that water could get into my tank, it'd have plenty of time to mix in. Well now I've upped it to 3 and I'm putting in even more soda ash at the same time. (I think the soda ash is the main problem.)
So the question is, if you put 3 tablespoons of soda ash into your sump and you have about 600 GPH going into the tank...would that be hard on the snails? What would the effect of it be?
