Starting to Panic: PH 6.4, KH 7 GH 13. I just cant get PH to go up. What do I do??

Please help. I do not know what else to do. My snails are currently in a critter keeper because I had to break down my entire tank and its currently cycling. I just cannot get a good ph lvl. I have crushed oystershell and wondershell in their tank. In my cycling tank I have a huge bag of oystershell sitting under the sponge filter and a bunch of it in the substrate. Both tank and critter keeper are reading 6.4-6.6.

What do I do?? My blue snails shell literally looks like its peeling, I am so distraught. I ordered crushed coral today, some people say it works better (while other people say oyster shell is better??)

Ive had these snails for about 3 weeks. The shells weren't perfect when I got them.

Do I go buy high PH water?? My tap water has lower PH, but what brand of water do I buy so its safe?

Should I go the baking soda route? I heard its not safe due to PH spikes.

Please advise!! I'm feeding snello with calcium added and zucchini with calcium sprinkled on top.

Can I save my ponytail palm?

Hey all,

Ive had this ponytail palm for about 4 months. My cats absolutely massacred it, so I trimmed it down pretty good (not sure that was the best idea) and now its just been kind of stagnant. I barely water in, every couple weeks I gave it a good soak since as far as I know they store water in that bulb.

The bulb is now feeling a bit squishy. I'm just not sure what else to do for it. It sits under a barrina glow strip with my other succulents. What else can I do for her?

Hey all,

I'm keeping my tank pest snail free. I normally use reverse respiration on all my new plants but just got some floaters full of bladder snails and I'm not sure how to get them off. Can floaters be rr'd? Or is it better to do a bleach dunk? Let me know what worked best for you, thanks!

Hey everyone, I know it can be hard to sex snails, please dont crucify me for posting bad pictures.

Is anyone able to tell if squeegee is a girl? I thought id see a snenis sheath on the left side but maybe its tucked away?

The last photo shows his shell. Ive only had him for about a week, and he's still a baby. Is this shell damage? He has had that since I've had him. I'm working on the ph of my water but im worried about lasting damage.

Please help!

In an unfortunate update, Ridglan has been offered an undisclosed amount of money by dog rescue groups to release the Beagles to them. It's disappointing that this has led to Ridglan making money off of the attention they've been getting over these beagles.

Snail only tank. I just cant get my ph to go up. I have oyster shell in the tank and wondershell. It always stays in this range. Please help, how can I increase it to be safe for mystery snails?
