None that i know of. The snails use calcium to make their shells larger. How high is your Ca?

I think I heard before that excess calcium can cause inverts to molt to often.

my cal is 580

mine is 440

sorry my cal is 520 I gues 580 would cause a little problem. 520 is the right number

Mine is 420. IMO over 500 is kinda high. Id keep it between 400-450.

How do you lower it? Water changes?

I take it thats the way. When I said 580 I was mistaking, I'm kinda bad with numbers.
