[LF] Long Island, NY -- crushed coral/oyster shells, refractometer, inkbird or similar temperature controller, heater, check valve

Hi. Starting a new tank and in the age-old process of realizing how much stuff I need for what I want to keep. Happy to pick up, can travel to the city. If you have anything you want to get rid of, happy to pay shipping. Mostly just seeing what I can snag here before I go shopping at the store.

edit: also looking for liquid ammonia and root tabs lol.

Rabbit snail KH/GH/PH parameters

Adopting some rabbit snails from a friend in the next few weeks and want to make sure my water parameters are good for their shells. My GH is 6ish, my KH is 2ish, and my PH is around 7.2. Are these okay? Do I need to raise anything?

Washing salt off of lava rock?

Bought this piece of lava rock from someone who told me it used to be in a brackish water tank. I let it soak in a bucket with dechlorinator overnight and changed the water. Will this take forever to be safe for a freshwater tank??? How would one be able to tell when it's safe? I'm worried the salt is inside the porous rock lol.

How to clean up hair algae without snagging baby snails?

Hi, I'm doing some long overdue maintenance on my 2.5 gallon tanks with ramshorns, mini ramshorns, bladders, and MTS, and they have a ton of hair algae in them.

I've been procrastinating on cleaning it up because every time I clean out the hair algae, I can't help but notice every single tiny baby snail in them, and I can't bear the thought of throwing out baby snails with the hair algae, so I stop to pick them all out, which takes forever. Is there a better way to do this???
