First of all, big thanks to KeenShrimp & Baccus: A thread opened by KeenShrimp, and a reply Baccus did here did ring a bell to me I said to myself: well, there's a nice estuary not so far, with a place with brackish to almost fresh water. Might be worth it just keeping an eye. After day work, drove wifey at home quickly, jumped in my car, and run to the place. And Bingo!!! 21 Nerites in 15 minutes I didn't even suspect I can find these horn nerite in my Country, never heard of them in any book. You can't imagine how happy I was when I saw a yellow dot on the immersed rock, put the all arm and shoulder inside water... and felt the horns under my fingers!!! I could not believe my eyes Then I found a second, and another, and another... Sun was dimming, and I didn't feel confident in this place where deep water is very close from the shore and where the bull shark is sometimes cruising, so after the 21st nerite, I thought it would be more wise to come back later... I know what I will do this week-end There are 2 kinds: 1 with horns, almost clear, one without, almost dark I ran back home and acclimated them during 3 hours, and drop them in their tanks. My favorite: It's a true fact that these guys are trully unbelievable algae killers: 1 hour after being installed on this rock covered with algae- the rock is the size of a big egg- 2 hours after less 1/2 hour cleanng on an anubias leaf Gees, they made my day ^^)

Thanks Jul and Waffle :) Before and 2 hours after Most of the job was done by the yellow and the black ones. My favorite, the orange, was caring about the leaf. I have to explain him he must focus on the rocks, not the leaves

I have one 160WE Kessel on a goose neck over my reclaimed reef tank. Not the best photo but you get the idea. I trimmed and replanted the Milfoil today so its all the same height now. Have Tangerine Tigers and Sunkist Cherries in there. Substrate is a pool sand layer followed by ADA Amazonia.

Will snap one for you tomorrow. i think if you're after a few lights this is a good option because a 90cm tube is around $60
