Just maybe, it could be the Excel - after nixing Rachel's suggestion to me
that I was adding way too much Excel, I went back and reconsidered and
dropped the dosage quite a bit to see.... and guess what, hardly any more
dead snails.  Not conclusive, as I also added in Cuprasorb, as my water is
suspect re excess copper.  Could take the Cuprasorb out and see if the
deaths increase, I suppose!  Anyway, try dropping the Excel and see what
happens.

Kind regards,
