IMO yes. I'd to a 1 gallon and see how much that lowers it. If it lowers it 1 point, i'd do one every day for the next 4

Just checked the calcium of saltwater I mixed up to 1.022 and it's right at 500. I guess my batch has extra calc.

Wish I knew, but I'm starting to learn that a lot of things will recover if given enough time.

I was fishing today and the tide was low. There were hundreds of thousands of cerith snails all over the rocks and sand. Could I take 15 or 20 and acclimate them to my tank?

I am always extremely weary of livestock directly from the ocean. . . Too many stories of unwanted hitch hickers wreaking havoc. Especially if it is taking a chance on an inexpensive item such such as snails.
