Okay...where to start...I'm a college kid and I live in an on-campus dorm. I have an RCS tank at my house (two hours away) that I just love, and I'm playing around with the idea of starting a "desktop" colony (with tigers or bees maybe?) in my dorm room.
The only problem I have would be major holidays, in which the campus shuts down and the students have to leave. We also have to unplug all of our appliances. Do you think it would be a good idea to start up a tank, even though I'd have to haul it back to my house for holidays about once every month or two (including a week long spring break?) Would it be too much stress on the shrimp to have to move them around a lot, and what are ways to transport the colony safely over a two hour drive? Does the tank have to "re-cycle" every time you move it and set it up somewhere else?
Sorry if this post has way too many questions! :1zhelp:
