My 20g has 4 nerite snails and 1 apple snail. My water is quite hard, has a natural pH of 8.1 which I drop to 6.4 via CO2 injection. Will the snails be OK at a pH of 6.4? The water is quite hard which makes me think yes since they will have plenty of calcium to build their shells with.

They should be fine. The PH due to CO2 should have little effect on them.

Watch out for signs of the shell beginning to to deteriorate.I beleive it starts from the point of the spiral.Make sure you add calcium to their diet as well.
