This site says a variety of meaty foods; fish, scallop, shrimp, squid & clams. So pretty much it will eat your clean-up crew...lol From what I hear, frozen brine shrimp aren't very healthy for them.

I know I have posted these before but here are links to the box that I made

I would suggest 2+ hrs. You can do the 'add water to the bag' method. I prefer to drip acclimate. It's pretty much the same method but you aren't adding a bunch at a time. It's a more gradual change.
I was mixing some salt water in a trashcan for a water change and for some reason it left a rash. My skin isn't normally that sensitive but I will be buying some nice rubber gloves before long.
12V = 300 ohm
7V = 150 ohm
6V = 91 ohm
4.5V = 47 ohm
3.9V = 22 ohm
You will need to run these in parallel and solder a resistor onto each positive (longest leg) leg of the LED.
Jason...did you have extra shells for the BLHermits? I just picked up 2 of them and LFS threw in about 5 extra shells so they would have some to grow into. Just curious if I might have an issue with them later.
Final update incase anyone is actually reading this. I saw the sifter goby poke his head out of the LR this morning so I know he is still alive. After 15 minutes of searching for 1 of the snails I finally found it on a piece of LR. Damn shell blended right with the rounds on the LR...
The answer comes out the same somehow but The original equation was
2v+18=16-4(v+7)
2v+18=16-4v-28
-16 -16
2v+2=-4v-28
-2 -2
2v=-4v-30
4v 4v
6v=-30
v=-30/6
v=-5
I know those aren't typical RS LEDs. RS doesn't sell the 5000mcd leds. 68ohms sounds resonable for a 5vdc powersupply. If you do go larger in voltage you will need to go higher on your resistor.
Personally I wouldn't vacuum any substrate, well maybe CC but not sand. Different bacteria grow at different levels in the sand. By disturbing the layers you can cause some of the bacteria to die off and then it would have to start over again in the new layer. Atleast this is everything that...
Thanks...I did the typical noob rushing tank mistakes. Large bioload + inappropiate acclimate times = disaster. I am just hoping that the shrimp is the only thing that I loose. Thanks for you help
