I have a 20g QT tank. Filled it with water from my display, put in some small pieces of live rock from the display. Put 1/2" of CC in the bottom, and let it run for a week.
All parameters test good, zero ammon & nitrite (as I'd expect, considering everything came from the display).
I bring home 10 astreas from the LFS. Their water & mine both tests at SG of 1.024 with my refractometer. Excellent.
I float the bag and add 1/4 cup for water every 5 min for an hour, and in they go.
It's now 3 days later, and most of the snails are half hanging out of their shells and look dead. A couple are still moving, but not much. I have no idea why this happened.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks.
