if you want help it will be asked. Ive seen people who said they are good only to find out something was off.If they are in the range required I feel it's a waste of time to post them
My parameters were still in check when all this snail death accrued it was stray voltage that killed them when the went to the top of the tank caused a ground and they got shocked.Not so perfect afterall.
Don't be salty. If you had posted your parameters like you were asked, you would have received the help you were looking for.
Would you be talking about copper metal toxins? My pipes aren't copper.Seems this topic got way out of hand but my 2 cents anyhow.
Nitrates aren't always as bad as people make them out to be, plenty of tanks with higher than optimal nutrients and they are successful.
However heavy metals and ammonia are extremely fatal to snails and aren't tested for unless you do an ICP test. Do you use RODI? Do you have copper pipes? Is you ammonia test kit a good one that's not expired or are you like many of us who only use it for cycling purposes and never invest in a good ammonia kit?
Also how much algae do you have? Are they starved or is it an algae known to be toxic? Any hermits ans how do they fare in the system? They are affected less so than snails IMO so if hermits survive but snails dont I'd lean towards heavy metal toxicity of some sort without knowing much about your system.
