You should really only need a Cuttle bone if your water is soft or you don't do regular water changes. If you do a regular 30-50% water change each week with standard tap water you should have enough minerals in the water. Unless you are breeding the snails and have alot of small snails being born consistantly, then you may need the Cuttle bone. This is of course just my .02

You do have to watch out for ph drops too. Calcium does funny things to water.

calcium hardens the water, so if anything, it would keep the ph more stable.

I stand corrected. I knew it did something. Apparently I remembered it backwards. :)

you get half a point, at least you remembered that it is important, because it definitely is. (y)

You're to kind. Now, as soon as Panther stops laughing at my blonde moment we can get back to snails and cuttle bones. :p
