5 to 10 hours dip for snails? wow..I never acclimate them pass the temperature and then drop them in the aquarium. never lost a single one. Quite the opposite, they are multiplying like crazy.
I would think some chimical in the water, maybe from some coral or some copper. where is the water coming from?
Try putting fresh carbon in and see if that help.
Someone I know had an anemone got cought in a pump and released all sort of chimical warfare in the water and all her snails and fishes died except a clown fish and the shrimps.

just finished reading that article and it certainly stresses the importance of a 5 to 10 hour drip acclimation but I still reiterate that I haven't lost more than one or two from a fast or no drip at all.
I couldn't find anything in there that would help you come to any kind of conclusion as to what issue has befallen your snails though...
which part were you specifically referencing youngster dan...I must have missed it.?
