I got some RCS in my tank, willing to sell you some. But I gotta give a disclaimer I have never shipped shrimp before.

How many are you looking to get and how soon?

Wow, just read through all 69 pages on this. Excited to see what the new plans for the tank are. I loved reading through your saltwater threads, but could never afford one. Great to see you doing freshwater now!

I got it off aqua bid. I believe I have some leftovers in Miami, it might take few a few days to check so I will get back to you then, but yea you can have them if your willing to pay shipping. Ill let you know.

It never gets cold if you live in Miami, but ever since I moved to Orlando I realized that it is possible.

Yea I live in Central Florida the heater probably isn't needed right now, but come winter we will have nights when it gets down into the 30's and 40's and the heater will be needed then. I am thinking of switching to a marineland stealth heater that will only turn on when the tank temp drops...

Cool that might be something I wanna look into then, she wouldn't have to worry about removing dead leaves or dosing.

While I have been away at school the stock in my 29g planted tank has unfortunately passed over time. I am not sure why as my mom only tells me when she can no longer find a fish in the tank. Currently there is only 1 neon tetra, 5-6 ottos, and tons of RCS left. I am debating converting my 29g...

Nice looking stand. If you don't mind me asking, what was the approximate total cost?

I'm debating switching my Hydor to one of those, only because I have one in my 29 at home and I love it.

That's correct they don't turn off at a certain temp, I'm not sure what they are preset at but if the heater only heats to 79 and the water is at 79. 79 degree water wont get any hotter if in the presence of 79 degree heat they would be in balance.

I don't believe it will, the purpose of placing it under the filter intake is for the bubbles to get sucked into the filter and chopped up in the impeller making them smaller and releasing the Co2 into the water.

I just checked my bag and it doesn't say either. I have kept fish with it before though with no problems. Thanks for the tank compliment.

There is also the Hydor Mini Heater which I have in my 2.5 and it works perfect.

If you are going to use an airstone a limewood or ceramic airstone would work better under your filer intake. There is a company called aquatic magic that makes a diffuser called the nano diffuser that is compatible with DIY co2 that I have heard is pretty good also, though I have never had...
