Hello. I have a 10 gallon betta tank with 2 nerite snails. I need to add calcium to the tank for the snails. I've been reading posts here where people have recommended adding piece of cuttlebone. I've also been reading posts where people have recommended Wonder Shells. I was wondering if there's any benefit to one versus the other.
If I go the cuttlebone option, do I just place the entire thing into the tank (after boiling so it will sink)? Will that raise the tank GH levels too high if I do that?
Alternatively, if I go the Wonder Shell option, what size do I purchase? It appears that "large size" is appropriate for a 5 gallon tank (but from what I've been reading it's fine to use half of the recommended dosing anyway). Would the large one be the correct size?
Thank you for any assistance and advice.
