    Turbo snails dying?

    I use R/O water........I think it is starvation now. I am keeping way better care of my tank and their is no kind of algae problem whatsoever. Hence nothing to eat. I have a Arrow Crab, Yellow Tank, Coral Beauty, Tomato Clown, Magenta Fish, and a Convict Damsel in a 65 Gallon tank.
