30% WC in Lola's 20gal, 20% WC in the 6gal snail aquarium.
Cleaned up Lola's filter some, molted shrimp skins stuck to it. Yuck.
Rearranged her aquarium, trying to get an idea of how much more stuff I can load it with! She is happily exploring.

Interesting! Can I do that with water from water changes? I never thought of that. Although I did use old gravel to cover the soil on my plants, helps keep the moisture in.

Not sure if it would be ok to use brackish water or not.

Doodoo water. Hahahaha.
I didn't even think of the fact that it was brackish! My snails are in fresh though, so I could use that :)
