| I cannot recall where I read information on snails, shrimp, etc. using up calcium in a tank. I beleive it was part of a Reefkeepign article. They definetely do, and from waht I remember, I do not beleive it would be much in our aqauriums. Basically, I have a peppermint, a dozen nassarius, and a mixed dozed with some cerith and astreas and have very limited calcium intake out of my recently cycled tank at this point. I am dosing B-Ionic every three days. If I do it any sooner my Calcium and Alkalinity goes up over the levels that I am shooting for.
