I also lost 3 more dwarf cerinths yesterday. the funny part about it is that the GSP hovers above the snail for a few seconds while staring me down as if "look, look what I'm about to do". Then slams the thing. Oh well, I knew going into it that everything was food. Something good I have ...

Re: Why are Figure 8's brackish?

It really is impossible to keep a stable GH/KH, if that's what you're thinking. I really wish I could contact RTR about this for a better explanation.
