I have now put fishing wire all the way around but I have heard that herons return to the same pond until they are sure there is no free meals left. I don't feel confident enough to restock straight away - it is only thin wire after all! So how long is it the right time?

I am looking into purchasing an ro system for my 92 gallon corner tank, when looking at the items they all mention a certain gpd rate. How do i know how many gallons per day i need, and what is the GPD based on?

Is the RO system going to be constantly pumping water into my tank or only when i turn it on? Also, if anyone has basic information on using these systems at all would you please share it with me? I just learned about the RO process and would like to know as much as possible before purchasing one.

As far as water changes go, how much more convenient is it to have one? Anyone already using one of these things? Im am currently looking into a 3 stage Pur-Flo II. thanks in advance for your help

The babies are in a seperate tank (all from one birth) and after a week the ones that are a bit larger appear to start eating the smaller ones. Anybody else seen or heard of this? Do you continue to seperate the babies as they continue to grow?

Ok, I got my self a new aqurarium three weeks ago, and I am really frustrated to see that information regarding aquariums is different depending on the source. In the pet shop I was told that I should wait for 4 weeks without adding any fish, and they would insist, until the nitrite levels drop. In other place I was told to add some hardy fish so ammonia will be produced and the cycle will begin. In other places they recommend a 10% water change every now and then to help the nitrite levels go down and others say that a water change would only slow it down...what the hell? what am I supposed to do here??
