Need help.

Don’t know what to do. I got advice that my water was too clean so I should slow down on the water changes and feed more. My phosphates and nitrates were, and still are, at zero. This is after two weeks without a water change. Also all three of my Turbo Snails died.

How long has your tank been setup? Did you cycle your tank?

It’s been cycled since February.

Great! Looks like you are entering the ugly stages. Not to worry or get discouraged - we all go through it.

Get your PO4 & NO 3 above zero.

Heres my before and after ugly stages.

How far apart were the deaths of your turbo snails? How long had you had them for? 0 N/P wouldn’t kill snails.

Yeah, this. Curious if any predators are killing them or anything. Or maybe they starved... not sure if turbos eat red slime algae?

The snails died within days of each other. I had them for a couple months
