Exclamation Calcium Usage By Snails & Hermits.

As everyone probably knows from my recent threads that I have been dosing with about 1 gallon of Kalkwasser & RO/DI Water about every 3 days to keep up with evaporation within my 29 gallon nano aquarium. My levels where steady at 550ppm - 650ppm with the three corals that I have. I decided that is was time for a cleanup crew of 12 Turbo Snails and 12 Blue Legged Hermit Carbs. I just checked my Calcium level and since the addition of the 24 little guys my level dropped to 440ppm. I never knew that they could use up Calcium that quickly. I have decided to up my dosage to 2 gallon of Kalkwasser & RO/DI Water about every 3 days to keep up with the new levels. I will keep everyone posted.
