id think they would lower the ammonia amount? they do produce ammonia, but they also eat the uneaten food. uneaten food would make more ammonia than poop. (amount eaten vs amount of poop made from eating it)
yes, snails like any other creature on earth secrete waste products, although they do eat uneaten food, they still produce waste which does produce ammonia. I would think you would need a HUGE ammount of snails to cycle with though.
If they died during the cycle they would produce even more ammonia! ... which could be beneficial to the cycle, and if you had an overabundance of snails... kinda help get rid of some :?
