Copper is only lethal in substantial amounts. It's actually an essential element to inverts in trace amounts, nothing to worry about.

Yeah I've heard that too but I read somewhere that it's been known that even a fairly large snail population will immediately show negative effects in the presence of copper as low as 0.01%, but then again I've never tried myself to figure this out. I wouldn't like to purposely experiment on any snails. That's why I'm trying to find someone that has personal experience with Seachem black sand fluorite and snails.
But I greatly appreciate your response.
