I see that my local tropical fish store has the water for .50/gal.

Okay, I'll have to search their site, thanks.

Well I filled the tank last night and used the dechlorinator. That water is okay water, right?

So buy like, gallons of drinking water? Is this just used to top off the tank after water evaporates? I'm not quite clear...

So how do you keep them from taking over your tank? Aren't they invasive?

The tank came with the filter, so I think I'm set with that. I don't know if my Walmart has RO water, but I don't really understand what you are talking about with this RO water. Please fill me in.

So I still need to buy an ammonia test kit. Anyone know how much they cost? And what do you mean reverse osmosis and deionized water?(noob) What do I need besides the filter?

Haha, So I just leash it and let it float?

And is the shrimp before or after the sand and the LR?

Hahaha, what kind of shrimp?

A piece of shrimp?

So there really is no way around them? They really creep me out but if I NEED them and I can keep them in check, I guess it's okay?
