Make sure you get a 'fresh' shimp, many are treated to keep them 'looking' fresh. A good sniff should tell you. I 'think' it is is chlorine they treat it with.
Someboddy correct me if I am wrong please

Buy an Ro unit. Don't use tap water. I searched the net, and found some cheaper one's but finaally went to a local home improvement store. It was worth the money....although it took me forever how to figure how to hook that thing up!

I believe he'll eat your inverts and small fish. Some of them get large also. I liked your earlier list it looked good.
When you finally get your tank cycled go look on here at the clean up crews. This will give you an idea of what you can get. I'd get a good varity of snails, I also have hermits, but some don't like them.
Just remember to go slow and have fun.
Good Luck

Ok, thanks. Well, know I need help with the quarantine tank, I was planning on a 10g, with a little lr and a artifitial plant or two. I was thinkng I could just keep it in a cupboard in the dark so algea won't grow, and to open the cupboard and turn the the light on when I need to use it. Do these tanks need to mature? Or can I use water in there to refill my tank when I do a water change?
