I guess, but I'd rather they learn slowly and carefully, otherwise instead
of new posts with great pictures, we get 'All my fish are dead, what
happened?'.


I agree with BV, our little pond club got a new member. 40 gallon pond tub
with plants, no filter 9 goldfish and 2 koi and her water won't clear. So she
dumps all the water, scrubs the tub CLEAN and puts the fish back only to do it
again in a week and can't understand what's wrong. Then to top it all off, she
put an algae eater in and wondered why it died. They knew nothing of Ph, Kh,
or water qualityor the different types of filters and what they do. Obviously
didn't do their homework first. Probably watched a show like HGTV and thought
this is simple and easy, let's do it! Oh well, they are learning now.
