Okay, I figure it might be time to find out whether using the comprehensive Flourish supplement will harm my little snail friends. Can anybody answer definitively whether the copper content is at a mollusk-safe level?

thanks folks,

well it hasnt killed off my snails yet. so thats one tank its been safe to be used it. i put it in my tank 3 times a week. i know 20-30 people of the top of my head that has used it no problems. i am sure if i tried hard i could come up with 50-100 people.

Yes its safe.

do be careful, i lost some amano shrimp from excess copper. the tank was newly planted so the plants couldnt use up all the nutrients. if u have a tank thats been established for a a few months i dont see any problems with it.

flourish has so little copper I don't think you should worry. I does it in my tank with both shrimp and snails!
