Hi, I just bought a brand new 10 gallon glass fish tank from Petco and i am planning on raising Triops Longicaudatus in it.
The tank itself is pretty dusty, inside and out. I think it is because it was just in the store for a long amount of time.
How can I clean out this tank so i can begin assembling the tank?
Can I just rinse the tank out with tapwater and wipe it dry with some paper towels? or is that a bad idea?
Consider that i harvested some eggs my current triops have laid, and dried them out. where can i store these dried eggs for future use? say in a few weeks, maybe even a month.
Do i need to keep the dry eggs in a certain temp? do they need to be in some sort of substrate (sand, dirt, ect)?
I got a triops kit thing and i was wondering if it was safe to raise them in rubbermaid food containers. Im going to use the biggest one i have and i have only put fruit in it and use cascade to wash it in my dishwasher. is it safe to use for my triops? any suggestions? should i rinse it in water? if so, what kind of water?

I just ordered some of them triops off of ebay and i have read up they get pretty big.. so i have a old 10 gallon tank i dont use.. what all should i do to get it prepared and how long should it be set up before i put them in it? i got the delux triop kits so they will live in the tank included until ready to be moved.. i own alot of fish but triops arent the same.. and distilled water isnt cheap so i was woundering if i could just use the water purifirer i use in the regular fish tanks? or should i just buy distilled water? also should i buy a uv lamp for them? and any other comments will be appericated im trying with them again so hopefully i will succeed and have them live a good 3-4 months as like the seamonkeys i tried over and they lasted a year and a half please please leave tips and comments on your expericence thanks

I’ve heard of Triops, Aqua-Aliens, Seamonkeys, and Merbirds. Are there any other instant pets that use suspended animation? Or any instant pets that don’r use suspended animation? Also, are Merbirds and Seamonkeys they same?
And don’t say that these are all brine shrimp like the dummy who put the first answer, because if u look them up, they aren’t all the same
edit- you are still a dummy because they are different animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sea monkeys are brine shrimp, you can’t classify different animals with the same name.
