Aquarium Advice Apprentice
My PH is around 6.2 and I want to raise it to the 7 range. My fish do fine with this ph, but I want to keep snails in the aquarium as well. The slightly acidic ph always ends up eating through the snail shell, as well as what I believe is a lack of calcium in the water. I have read that crushed coral will solve both of these problems, but no one seems to know the right dosage. Any help will be appreciated. I also have hard water. It seems to harden in the aquarium between water changes as well. I use flourish liquid fert twice a week and didn't know if that might have something to do with it.
