Default Re: RCS In Cold Water?

Since the weather has cooled, my temp has dropped from 78 to 74, no probs with RCS. If you keep a glass lid (or plastic wrap) on the tank as a cover, it will hold in the warmth from the light very efficiently (I do this on my picotope) in a small tank.

If someone with warmer water ships you shrimp (or fish) you just acclimate them the same old way by floating the bag for a few minutes. Then toss 'em in and let 'em go.
