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
