[Mgamer20o0]

what about just adding Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 straight to the water.

or mixing it up with foods. one thing i didnt see is any warnings when they should be added and what side effects this might cause to your fish by making the ph flux so much.

i mix 100% calcium carbonate to my snail jello with every batch. Is the CaCO3 from aquariumfertilizer in powder form or granulated? That's a ridiculously low [rice compared to a bottle of jurassical

Has any tried plain white chalk intended for chalk boards?

Would you prefer liquid calcium (i just ordered a bottle of Kent's last night) or Tums?

 

[excuzzzeme]

White chalk is calcium carbonate and talc. Tums, and other antacids will sometimes contain magnesium to help digestibility. As long as you are not using a vitamin enhanced mixture it should be good for the inverts. I also use plain cuttlebone, fruit flavored cuttlebone and Tums, or vacation feeders.

Isn't plaster a carcinogenic?

How many tums do you put in? How often? I have a five gallon with only a few snails (since they keep dying) but many rcs.

I use Calcium pills for humans from Wal-mart crushed up in my snail jello. No bad effects yet and I've been doing it for a year now.

Can Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 be put directly in the water if I don't want to mix it with food?

Yes, you can.

Am I the only person that has snails that won't touch Tums? I have the berry flavored ones. My shrimp aren't enthusiastic about them either.
