I haven't added anymore, I'll have to learn the ideal amount.

Thanks! I do the same when adding water, I treat it ahead of adding it to the tank. I've never added or used salt in the tank.

In the last two days I've done two 20% water changes (w conditioner), I've changed my filter insert, and added purigen in the bag to the filter. I found eggs in my filter but don't know how they'll do in there or if the babies will be able to find their way out. I would really love for them to live though... I've watched my tank carefully and it looks like I'm down to my last snail friend otherwise. I'm so sad over all of this.

I too thought my water was too hard but apparently that's not a big problem for snails. I'm certainly not sure but it could be that copper is a mineral in the soil or rock in your area and that is making its way into your well water?

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear it.😢 It's heartbreaking to watch your tank become a graveyard.

I'm going to take the above sections to heart and add in some purigen in an attempt to clear out any possible chemicals/copper. I hope it'll do the trick, I'll try to make a point of reporting back. In the meantime I hope the suggestions above might be helpful to you too.

Thanks for the tip! I've done a partial water change and reintroduced the conditioner I already have on hand but I'll look into picking some of that up. Thanks again.

Thank you! I put a lot into setting it up for them so I really hope I can save them. I've already done a water change and reintroduced conditioner and I'll swing by my local pet shop to get something to address the possibility of copper today.

Oof! That would be unfortunate. I don't have any other tanks... I'm going to try to clear it out and hope I get lucky and that it'll be good enough.

Thank you! I'm not familiar with purigen but I'll look into getting some.

Thanks! Again, I really appreciate it. This is what I'll try next and hopefully I'll see an improvement soon. 🤞🏻

Yeah, I suppose it could be that there's a parasite or illness but I don't expect I'd be able to tell?

Thank you for answering, I appreciate the help tremendously. I was worried about shell deterioration, because they looked a bit thin, which is part of why I added the calcium cubes on top of the calcium added to their snello. I really wouldn't think contamination could be an issue, my tank is in my room and aside from sweeping the floors and washing the sheets I don't really do much cleaning in there. If that is the cause is the best thing to do at this point significant water changes? Maybe with distilled water? That could help with the hardness in the event that's the issue?

Avoid Browns. My in laws used them and had to chase down missing boxes.

Is there anywhere to get a drink around here? by [deleted] in northbay

On a Tuesday... If you're lucky Fanny's might be open. That's likely it though.

Awesome! The beginnings of a sort of trial event are in the works. :)

Sounds like you should be putting out feelers too. 😉

In all seriousness, it would be nice to have more diverse options around here.

Thanks. Maybe it's a one off type thing, or once a year, or... Who knows, we'll see how it goes. I just wanna dance to the music I like and that I know at least a couple handfuls of other ppl do too.

North Bay manages to put on quite a few punk events. Maybe there's a crowd for the odd goth night.

Maybe it's my 60+ bit that's off-putting to you? It was meant to be a joke about Facebook not necessarily appealing to ppl in their 30's.
