Calcium Low-Effect on turbo snails
Calcium running 320ppm; Ihave been adding turbo cal(1/8 teaspoon) every two days for two weeks,no gain. What can i use to build up level? Does low cal.or salt effect turbo snails? running 1.021 sal.

I think I read tht if your alk is too high it will prevent your calcium from coming up.
pretty sure that's your problem. |

Low Magnesium is likely the problem, it should be at 3 times the Calcium level, if not the Calcium will precipitate out of the water table.
