Hello, we just received our Triop kit in the post (weren’t expecting it for a few days-thus haven’t bought distilled water yet). Needless to say we are totally excited/impatient 
and I want to know if I can use water filtered by my Brita water filter instead of distilled water from the store?
I bought some Triops on eBay, and I don’t know what a good size habitat for them is. I was planning on buying one from a Pet store.
The container is perfect except that I’m not sure the size is enough. Everyone says the depth isn’t nearly as important as the length and width.
It’s 6″x9.2″x6.6″ (6 liters) (4.6 Square feet)
Is that big enough?
Also, if that’s too big (or bigger than it needs to be) how about:
4.4″x7.13″x5.5″ (2.8 liters) (2.6 square feet)
UPDATE;
I just read some guides, and most say to add NO MORE than a liter of water. If I got with the larger container, I could only fill it a little over one inch of water at the MOST, which seems too shallow to me. Thoughts?
If you think I should hatch them in a small container (like a cup), and then transplant them, when do I move them, and to which container? Most guides say wait until Day 8 (when they are big enough to move), what do you think?
Also, should they be moved to the bigger container of the two I listed?
I want them today and the only store i know sells them is closed on sunday (Hobby Lobby).
