that would seem logical, except my water has a lot of Ca++ in it and I have
about a zillion snails (both MTS and ramshorn). In a similiar tank (same
pH), I was able to raise a blue lobster (I know, but it was early on in my
fish keeping days) through 3 molts before it I had mysterious deaths (or
should I say disappearances of smaller fish) and gave it back to the lfs. In
test kits, the water actually comes out with a medium hardness score, but it
has no buffering ability.

switched my stuff and I'm incapable of correcting it.
