Yes Lenny that is what it looks like. It mostly happens to the larger snails. It is probably like mentioned, the bigger foot making it have more of a suction and the snails being sucked in. I have had to pull the snail (shredded) out of the intake. Not nice believe me. […]
I have lost a number of adult mystery snails to the intake filter. I have a fluval canister on the tank that this happened to and I had to put a sponge pre filter on it to avoid this problem. Pam

Yes, good point. I don’t think Sunny (the Snail) has been sick; she certainly was moving about and seemed happy; there did not seem to be anything unusual going on though, well, snails aren’t exactly easy to read. I think she’s in shock and at the bottom of the tank, and […]
Thanks Len,  Just checking on the “mechanics” of exactly how the stuff works.  ps—–the 29 in up and flying. Direct transfer of everything including filter media, from the 5-gallon hex to it. All is fine……….so far!  Bill Â
Yes I did read every test I have… 0 for everything, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and a high PH of 8…

Not exactly the same, but I added SafeStart to my tank Saturday and the ammonia was pretty much cycled by Sunday morning. I wish I had done it a month ago, but I thought it would be cycled on its own by now. The nitrites […]
Be careful of advise from your LFS… if they don’t even know what’s in your local water… or maybe you just got an ill-informed employee.
This thread has been trimmed too much but if I remember right, your FW tanks had a pH of 7.2… right? If your 48 hour baseline is only coming […]
Hi Len, Posting here rather than direct in case someone else needs the help on the same issue. I could have sworn that you gave a link for Plant Geek to search for plants by using a pH factor????????????? I went all over their site and yes, registered for the forum, and still cannot […]
Sizing a UPS can be a lot of fun. If you buy a 750, most people assume it can handle 750 watts, however, UPS’s are really measured in volt-amps. You can look and look on your electronics or other appliances, and not find a volt-amp measurement anywhere. There is a white paper that kind of […]
Thanks for the tips Lenny, we have the battery backup systems on most of the other electronics (tv, cable box, computers etc), but that’s a good idea to get for the fish tanks. I’ve noticed our battery backups don’t last that long, rarely even the 20 minutes that the box says they […]
