I have a 90 gallon Reef setup with lots of live rock. I have steadily noticed that my snails don't seem to live very long. Also, some of them seem to become sluggish and I think they are dead, but when I pick them up they still show signs of life. I need them to keep up with the hair algae. I occasionally find them on their back and I put them upright and they seem to be OK, albeit slower than normal, but this seems weird. Also, I occasionally find an empty shell when I turn the light on in the morning. I have fished out a couple of obviously dead ones over the last 6 months. Based on a thread a few days ago I am ordering a copper test kit along with the polyfilters and SeaChem Cuprisorb. I figure I will hit it hard before I lose anything else. My question is where might the bad actor have come from. The only strange thing that I know I have done was to use a medicine called Kick Ich when my fish got Ich about 6 months ago. Could this be the problem? (I was given the tank by a friend, so that could be the source as well.)
Thanks in advance for any advice.
