So there is good news and bad news with my tank. One of the snails i added nassarius snails has died. Good news is however, there was not a huge spike in ammonia simply because the snail was devoured over the course of a couple of days by the sandbed organisms (mostly worms i am sure) and water movement. Every other snail is still going strong and i think a water change this weekend is in order. I was not happy that the snail died, but it was extremely happy to see that i have a well rounded aquarium that can support minor casualties such as those from stress in small organisms.
