RO/DI water

well, won't be around long then. Not sure snails will help...although they eat it, I'm not sure they digest it and it just comes right out the other end again. Diatoms are just the entrance into reefs and the first of many things to try your patience.

Nope, won't hurt at all. Won't help much, but you're gonna want them soon anyway, might as well add them now. Be aware that turbos knock things over.
