[njackson]

what would u have a rtc or a rtc x tsn

both get both, a pool heater hooked up to your filtration system works well and they can thrive in 72% but not that well they get sluggish you would want a constant 82% if kept in the cold weather umless you decide to bring them in ?

 

[njackson]

no i can't bring then in side . no room

As big as you can fit/afford. 1000+ Gallons.

They get HUGE, please house them accordingly.

yes please do I have a 240 for now and its fine but let me tell you if your going to love them as much as alot of us do its going to get pricy$$$ when I move to my new home in jersey next year I 'm building a 2500 gallon fish tank room just for y rtc's so unless your going to spend the time and money it will be hard for you and danger for them
