I wish! I have a TDS reading of about 15 and them little "cookies" are still 
going like guns! But thanks for the advise! Perhaps they will slow down 
soon??...Wishful thinking I guess! I think I will try the Had a snail stuff 
and see how it affects everything else! I have used on other fish only 
systems and it works very well! Like Nick T. said, it takes a double and 
sometimes triple dose to get-er-done;)
