How well do cichlids handle soft water?

I’m looking to get a few lake Tanganyikan cichlids for my tank but it is currently filled with soft water. I currently have a few tiger barbs in there just to get my tank cycled and will be removing them to start up another tank with. I was planning on slowly adding hard or RO water to the tank once I got the new fish. So how does soft water effect them?

Filter and heater for my 55 gallon tank?

Is it better to have one stronger filter and one stronger heater, or should I get 2 – 30 gallon filters and 2 – 200 watt heaters?

Does it cycle and heat more evenly with one at each end of the tank?

How to add a permeate pump to a Watts WP-RO4 system where the membrane and post-filter are integrated?

I purchased the Watts WP-RO4 system from Costco, which is the model that all filters and membrane are integrated in one piece. Now I want to install a permeate pump, but realize that it should be installed after membrane but before
the T-branch to the tank and the post-filter. However, since this is a one-piece system, such location is not available.
Is there any way to install a permeate pump to such a system?
Hi, Matt,
Here is the picture of my RO system with membrane removed: http://picasaweb.google.com/changfan/UntitledAlbum#5307947169654548738.
One the back, there is a tube at the permeate output of the membrane connecting to the tank, and another permeate output after the blue post-filter. Thanks.

anyone tried rear sea monkeys without using the water purifier #1?

i found some information in www.sea-monkeys.com bout the water purifier. it actually helps the sea monkeys to hatch. but, after i poured the water purifier #1 into the tank, i accidentally contaminate the tank with oil so i disposed the water n refill it with RO (reverse osmosis) water. if i go ahead to add in the instant eggs #2, i wonder will they hatch? anyone ever tried it? i hope someone tried it n is successful. i really hope my sea monkeys won’t die. thx for yr help
