thanks ebichua,
i cant wait to see the snails!!

i was refferring to a big tuperware, probably half gallon.

but i do have an empty 10 gallon that i busted an inch of glass off part of the top section while i was trying to make it rimless.
i got another and finished with sucess, but kept the broken one...

and times like this it could come in handy.

i could fill it halfway and stick her in there tommorrow.
i really have no idea how far along she is or how long till she lets go. but there are so many eggs it looks ridiculous, and i think it should go soon.

so, how do we estimate 30 ppm salinity using teaspoons or grams?
how much of what kind of salt do i add to about 5 gallons water?
can i use plain sea salt from the kitchen? non iodized salt? or do i actually need to buy some at the lfs?

what kind of "micro foods?" i heard a rumor they can use anarchis for this? am i just hearing things?

shrimp are so awesome....
