    I was wanting suggestions on some new snails for my tropical reef tank. Most of the snails I've tried die in a week or two because of the temp. The tank is a Australian reef so the temp stays roughly 70-73 degrees. Most of the snails I can buy locally seem to be from cold water. Since I can't find any locally I'll have to buy online but the sites dont usually say what temps for inverts.

    how long are you acclimating your snails for before introducing them? and what method do you use? Drip? Floating in bag? other?

    I drip for an hour, then float for about 30 min to temp acclimate them.
