New heater in, fish happy

Hi all. Got a new heater, (Eheim) and it's working well and the fish
seem happy. The krill my hubby got was way huge for them, but my
turtles LOVE it! If I had time I'd chop the krill for them, but I just
don't. Opinions about brine shrimp?

I rasie up brine shrimp and feed lots of it to a lot of my fish but it
would take a lot of brine to kep a goldie content. Look for some mysis
(msis) shrimpl They are a saltwater shrimp, but they can also be used
for frersshwater fish just as well. I feed a ot of mysid, to the
larger fish that would consume a lot of brine, and then the ones that
are able to eat larger than mysid I feed em krill.......

Did you read the instructions on setting the dial rng with the temps
on to coincide with the proper temp. It lays it out in the
instructions pretty well and its possible to get it within 1/2 deg if
you fool arund with it.......The key is to pull up that little
protuding lock stem to dissengage ring to align the temp with mark and
then push the little knob back down and make sure its engaged. You
can then pretty well just turn that ring to a temp and it will be
within 1/2-1 deg depending on how much you played wth setting it.

I read it, but wasn't sure I understood it. I can't pull up the stem.
I'll read the instructions again. It could be my hands, I have
arthritis.
