More than that...they're very beneficial.
As Coralline mentioned, cleaners and preds is a "ya never know" kind of thing. Sometimes, they're recognized as cleaners, and get a "pass",...
FWIW, we had a tank dump about 50 gals of water onto a carpet over hardwood, and there wasn't really any damage, and the floor was fine when...
How are you planning to use it?
These snails are called "bubble shell" snails, due to the small shell behind their head...it's actually more like a fingernail in shape. You can see...
We actually have an old AquaLogic 1/5hp drop-in chiller that works very well (we got it close to 10 years ago, used, for $90). We use a Ranco...

We run 1.020 - 1.023 in our FOWLR setups. In the past, I've run FO tanks as low as 1.018 with no ill effects.
I was thinking the same thing...since it's adjustable, why not have the extra flow under your belt in case it's needed. I suspect that with the...
Since you're going to be running the bioballs, I'd consider running the drain from the DT into a filter sock that you can clean weekly or bi-weekly....
