Hey all,
My house does not currently have gutters, but my dad and I are putting some up this week. I'm going to run the gutters into a couple of rain barrels. I have a couple of questions about using the water.
1)How do you move the water for changes? I assume you use the bucket method? I suppose I could run a hose from the barrel to the tank, but the water would be cold in winter.
2) How do I keep daphnia in the barrels? Is there anything special I need to do to get them to live? Can you suggest a species?
Any tips or things you wish you would have done?
