New tank snails dying

When I took out the Ca Rx, the snails no longer dropped immediately. But, they did die at a slower rate. When I took out the powerheads and controls, everything is seeming more normal. I have been replacing everything electrical. Guessing the pumps, etc may have developed faulty areas after drying out after years of usage. Not unusual, see if often when things go back in service for long runs. By next weekend, all the electrical components will be new. Hopefully, it will be happy reef time.

Thank you everyone for your help, thoughts and advice. This is what makes R2R great. We all make ourselves better. Hopefully my next update will show all the new corals I have purchased for this upgrade.
 
Progress already! Good luck and hope this is the light at the end of the tunnel!
