Recap:
Got 'em BAD! I think a series of events led up to the dino explosion including but not limited to the Summer heat wave raising the tank temp to 82F - 83F on consecutive days, killing off about 50 Mexican Turbos. That then fouled the water enough to start killing off about 5000+ small snails. It just got worse and worse.
What I did and maybe not exactly in the right chronological order:
1. lots of water changes;
2. lots of blowing them off;
3. lowered light period;
4. sugar dosing;
5. Lights out for 3 days
6. started 1 hour nap in middle of light cycle (which I still have);
7. Stopped doing water changes;
8. raised pH
9. ran skimmer very wet.
10. All Gone.
I may have missed something. I have a horrible memory, but I know that somewehre I have posted this recap at least once before.
