Hi,

Thanks,

What kind of shell dwellers are you talking about? Just snails, or others clams etc?
I know the pH shouldnt be much less than 7, as the acid will corrode their shells.

I'm guessing shell dwellers as in african shell dweller cichlids?

Depends what tank size? pH about 8 would be good.

A small piece of cuttlebone in the filter gives 'shell-dwellers' calcium in the water for their shells.

Although I am unsure of exactly how much to use.
