There would be no problem using it and I would just use the same dosage. Test your GH levels 1st though to make sure you even need it. GH should be up in the 80ppm range for most tanks

Instead of the coral I've started using oyster shell in my filter and it is a HOB.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Lots of people use Kents liquid calcium.  You can also feed them calcium rich veggies as well.  Judging by her pictures pigmalian's snails are beautiful.  Mine not so much, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt and listen to pigmalian.

Yes salties use it but sometimes you have to buy big bags.  I got my oyster shell in the bird department and paid a couple of bucks for it.  I also put tums in the tank.  It gives them white poo but it seems to help as well.

Quick Question here
I bought some coral for my snails ( 5 small pieces). I read above to put it in the filter, but I am wondering if I can just put it in the tank instead of the filter.
Its going in a 36G with some livebearers, some zebra snails and corydoras.

Any information would be great.

Thanks

works for me
i did not think it would be a bad thing, but thought I would double check.

The only thing to watch for is the fish getting scratched. Coral is very sharp and FW fish are not used to it; this can be a problem with larger fish more so than small ones... also watch what it might do to the pH
