What are your parameters? Why do you need to buy mineral rocks?
Not all snails are a problem but the acidic water can be a problem to the snails though.
trying understand if mineral rocks or powder to buy? or even do i need it?
Secondly, i always heard dont put snails in the tank as they are headache..... it is true or should i add?

It comes down to the species you are keeping. Ramshorn snail is not a bad choice. They even come in several color morphs. The ones you need to avoid are the Malayan trumpet & bladder snails. These are more prolific than Ramshorns.
Currently keeping large predatory fish 🐟

will take a pic or two later.... i scared i got so many snails then they become my headache then i got put fish in to solve that issue then they eat my CRS too....
Use nerite snail. They are super cleaner
heres my tank...typical nano tank 1 foot square...Ph 6.8 and Temp around 26-28
Trying get tempature down with cooling fan but not lowered much so brought a new cooling fan and see if that works. If not will put 2 fans.
Any good tips for cooling water?
i read up onsnails next....thanks
may i know which nerite snail you refer to ? horn snail or zebra snailAs i still don't get it which is which
You are keeping low grade crs ? Try not to use 2 fan with such a small tank else you will need to keep top up your tank water
I amkeeping SS CRS....had 5 today 1 died....

26.5 acceptable...thought need be a few degrees lower?
I have a question. Is it need to turn on the chiller for cycling the new tank water?

not necessary... in fact lower temperatures might inhibit bacteria growth
Aspiring to be.
get a chiller instead using of fan if you thinking to keep ss crs grade alive
Fans + small tanks usually adds up to disaster for CRS.
Reasons,
- fans are usually not effective enough to bring down the temperature to the ideal for CRS
- fans work on evaporation and that usually brings up the GH, if not kept in check you will have moulting problems
- parameters in small tanks are more difficult to maintain, CRS are sensitive and don't really like parameter swings.
understand but chillers don't come cheap...
You can try using those peltier setups, needs alot of DIY.
Cheap and efficient for nano shrimp tanks.
Do not try using freeze bottles and placed it into the tank.
Try looking up the Marketplace in this forum for used ones? I think it would be a good investment if you are serious about this hobby and hopes to see your shrimps growing to their ripe old age.
