I know this seems like a trivial issue, but my husband is adamant about not getting snails for at least another month or so, even though he got 2 clownfish pretty fast.  |
Like I mentioned before, I don't think now is the time to add snails because your nitrates are a bit too high to support sensitive inverts. Fish are a bit tougher so they can tolerate the high nitrates, unlike the snails.
