A & B is a calcium and alk supplement. It is usually a two part.

The brown stuff you are getting is part of the cycle, it is either Diatoms or cyano bacteria. I am going to go with cyano. If is in fact cyano, get some chemi-clean from an online vendor like, www.aquaticeco.com.

Here is a pic of one snail and several shells http://www.nigms.nih.gov/news/findin...02/snails.html
They look much different than the astreas...
There lies the danger in common names....confusion | |
