RE: [APD] Nerite Snails....problems with K2SO4?
I only have 3 Nerite snails in my 75 gallon but I never noticed a
problem when dosing K2SO4. I don't add nearly that much either
though...I add about 5/8tsp to my tank once a week which brings the ppm
to about 6.3. I'd do a water change and try a smaller does next time.

Hiya....
I added some potassium sulphate for first time to my tank in order to
raise
K to about 10-20 ppm per Chuck Gadds calculator. A few hours later , I
noticed all my Nerite snails are very unhappy...lying on bottom, not
moving.
If I take them out and put in water without K2SO4, they
recover....put
them back into tank, and they get unhappy again.
All other tank parameters are A-OK...ph=6.7, ammonia zero, nitites zero,
nitrates 10 ppm.
Anyone else have this kind of problem with Nerite snails after adding
potassium sulphate?
Thanks
