gobytron is an unknown quantity at this point

and what is your average temperature?

margerita snails are kind of a lfs scam as they are super sensitive to heat...
astraea are somewhat the same though more tolerant.

the rest of your snails would have to have a pretty high temp for it to be the issue though....

it would seem logical that if the issue were copper, you would have had this problem from the get go and not just after a move....

Nitrates: 0ppm (just tested)
Temp range: 78 to 80F, but is pretty much constant at 79F

My cerith, top and trochus are the ones having the greatest issues. Margarita's are kind as they always are: stupid and getting stuck upsided down.

All of this started after I moved and went into a larger (40G) tank. When I had all of this in a 20G with a high bio-load and no skimmer, it was EXTREMELY stable and had zero issues. I go to a newer, bigger tank (which in theory is supposed to be more stable) and BAM! all this crap starts happening. It's weird man...
