Hi Don,

You gave me a precious information, about the adding
of new sea water.. it's better to add some glass of water
in a long period of time to equilibrate the actual salinity
or add continuously with a small plastic tube?
I have another problem... where I live, I'm near adriatic sea and
the water has  less salinity because I'm near the po river estuary.
The cowries has been taken in the tyrrenian sea that is
a bit far..Can I use the adriatic sea water that has
less salinity or It's better to go to take the tyrrenian water?
Can I leave the water in a plastic tank for many times or not?

Thanx for the information, If I am able to do some photos
of the shells I'll put them in my web site
