when i was in nicaragua the last couple weeks, i noticed that, since the humidity is about 90% there, that all the restaraunts would put a little bit of white rice in their salt shakers...apparently it keeps the salt dry so that it wont clump up...my question is, would this work on aquarium...

I've got a 55 gallon tank that i wanna get some good lighting on...probably med-high lighting. I would like to get some metal halides, but if no one has metal halides, i'll take some pc's of at LEAST 300 watts. If they're pc's i'd like them to be in a 48 inch fixture, or otherwise have some...

This morning, i noticed that 2 of my hermits were locked together...the 2 holes of the shells where right up against eachother, almost like it was one shell. Anyways, i could see every now and then, one of their legs move around, so i figured they were fine and just left them. About a half hour...
