Welp, no time like the present...decided the first step would be to 'snow globe' the tank (Christmas is coming), so I mixed up two cups of kalk slurry using 2 tsp of kalk and dumped it in.
Ph went from 7.92 to 8.53.
Based on this article I am going to try this for a few days and see if it gets me anywhere.

Nems are open, nothing appears stressed yet.
Also running about 100g of Red Sea carbon (started today) in case they puke up toxic crap in the tank. Hopefully save the snails. Might try to siphon out some tomorrow and do a partial small 2.5g water change(if I need to add water) and then re-dose kalk slurry to up Ph again. WTH...since they are sensitive to fresh water a little HYPO will not hurt anything, I will just siphon out the volume that I slurry in...easy enough.
