i am going to start a cherry shrimp and snail breeder tank (10 gallon) and i will use 100% of the water out of the tank they are in right now and seed the sand in the new tank with sand from the tank they are in now as well

the water parimeters are going to be ruffly : pH-7 kH-140 to 160ish gH-75
and i have read that if your breeding snails that you need to add calcium cause the babies use it in their shell alot when young and with shrimp and snail i was wondering if i really need it.....? and if i do plz give me the rundown on it...

thanks jason
