Need help! I have had my 10gallon nano reef tank for a little over 2 months now.
Running AI Prime with AB+ schedule, and 35tidal hob filter with chemipure. Feeding a quarter cube misis shrimp daily. Doing 40% water changes every 2 weeks.
After it finished its cycle (~4 weeks in) I added 2 small clowns as well as my clean up crew of 5 hermits and 4 snails. My snails slowly died within 2 weeks and didn’t seem to be from the hermit crabs. I added a few more shortly after, which also died within a few days. I have been checking my levels regularly and am getting very high potassium and calcium levels. Everything I’ve been reading about, shows those 2 elements reacting inversely and not together… Has anyone had these issues? The fish and crabs seems to be doing great but snails and even a small zoa I tried to add all didn’t last long at all. I just got my ICP results back which also shows my calcium, potassium, chlorine, and sodium levels quite high, see below. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!!
Calcium: 518ppm
Magnesium: 1593ppm
Potassium: 558ppm
Chlorine: 26298ppm
Sodium: 14334ppm
