What color is the phosphate filter pad when new? Red/brown or white?

is your tank fully cycled would be my first question if not snails are suseptable to amonia and nitrite

I second this first..How old is the tank...we're overlooking the obvious..if it hasnt cycled, yeah, that could be a problem...

This has already been addressed. I guess you missed it:

55 gallon i bought about 20 snails have around 5 left. it was assortment of snails turbo/nass/certh. most of the empty shells i found were turbos. i've had these guys for around 6 month with no problems i belive there is plenty to munch on. tank is 1 year 2 months old.
