lol Yes, and the best time for breeding
Especially here in South Florida
The temperature in the tank now is below 70F
I know the RCS can handle it but still ... I hope it gets back to the 75F atleast that it was before. It just has such temperature changes due to its small volume (5.5 gallon). Though I know here in Miami I am the last one that should be worrying about the temperature in my tank!

Yes it is nice
I don't really know
But I just use Aquasafe in my turtle tank and never had any problems (I have had fish in that tank for a year, they are gone now though). And don't worry I am going to get Prime for the shrimp

lol Yeah, just making sure you guys know that hehe That is the only thing I am missing, right now I just refill the tank with water that comes straight out of the AC110 filter in the turtle tank (The waterfall) so it is clean and stuff. lol

That might be good to start a new tank, but water from a turtle tank is not clean enough for shrimp. Be sure to use conditioned tap water for water changes. I'm not meaning to be insulting, I just want to be sure you aren't thinking that way.

I understand. Like I said before, I will be getting Prime soon for water changes
