| Re: Turbo Snails I know they can handle 1.026 How high are you talking about. I'm guessing you could kill any thing if it got way high. I think I remember seeing the dead sea is about 1.029 and corals grow there and I guessing snails.

| Re: Turbo Snails In the future it is always best to mix the salt and water before adding it to your tank. Letting it set for a while is recommended also.
