need to harden water because of snail...calcium carbonate?
Hi! My snail is losing it's shell and I think it's because of my water
hardness. My KH hovers around 9-10 and my PH is 7-7.2. Since most plants do prefer harder water, so would calcium carbonate be a good additive for the water? THanX! Dave.

Sorry, I should put that my GH is 140ppm which is bordering on soft water.
This measurement of calcium & mag. ions is more relevant  "Dave M. Picklyk" wrote in message news:3YN1d.20763$KU5.20713@edtnps89... Hi!

Hmmm, don't know a Greg Watson. But I'm pretty sure I need some of the
stuff. I have no idea how much to add or what the basic recipe is...I guess I'd have to continuesly monitor the GH.
