It's a stomatella snail. a good hitchhiker from LR. they reproduce like crazy and love climbing under frag disks that are barely glued on :banghead: I had 2 in my 12G, now there's a good 15-20 tiny specs of baby versions.

I already have my 90RR & 20L sump sitting in my living room Dino, cmon it's time for our upgrades.... x2 on sweet tanks guys & girls

as long as it's raw, uncooked yea go for it. it doesn't even have to be defrosted. you can peel it or not. either way it will rot away creating ammonia

no distilled is fine, but it'll be cheaper down the road ot get a RODI unit since you'll probably catch the bug and want to go bigger soon lol. the MJ900 is perfect for the NC12 drop in an uncooked shrimp into a filter bag or directly in your tank and let it start to rot. it'll provide the...
