  1. Hmmm, I don't think there's any reason not to put them in. They might absorb a little water over time, but not enough to destroy them and they wouldn't be toxic. I say go for it.
  2. They should be surrounded by an array of EMF detectors, cameras and sound recorders. :bounce:
  3. And I don't think anyone genuinely expects an extremely high level of a grammar and punctuation. Messageboards are informal enough that if your post wouldn't make a 4th-5th grade english teacher flunk you then you're doing fine. I know mine certainly isn't perfect.
  4. To use it as terrestrial plant fertilizer siphon it out and pour it on the garden. To use it as aquatic plant fertiliser don't siphon it out. I suppose you could filter it out as you siphon, then dry it, compress it into little tabs and put them under the plants...Hahaha...Too much trouble.
  5. Is 18watts less than 60watts?
  6. Try putting his a 3:1 mix of his old food and his new food in a container of water, stir it up for a little while so any juices and smells will be hopefully transferred to the new food. Then dump it in. Hopefully he'll start eating the new food an you can start increasing the ratio.
  7. Nah, won't come anywhere near blowing them out of the water. A nice current at best. A lot of fish people keep are river fish and rivers flow much faster than just about any pump could get a tank moving. My 440L has around 8000 lph of flow(Assuming everything's pumping what it's rated at)
  8. I'm advising if you want to be sure they'll stay shut to put some kind of latch or similar on them. Jeez people, sometimes I'm actually serious, not sarcastic, learn to tell the difference! :lol:
  9. There are a bunch of pumps that are available in powerhead versions and pond pump versions. The difference? About an extra 20 meters of power cord on the pond version.
  10. I think they do it a handful of times/year.
  11. They especially won't open if you install latches.
  12. And the people that use the wrong their, there, they're, too, two, to, lose, loose and spell bought with an R. All are valid targets for ridicule. People that use "of" instead of "have" are optional targets.
  13. No, it's a one way valve, it's not a magical material sensing valve, it doesn't care what is going through it, only about direction.
  14. I see a lot of survival rates to breeding age quoted in the region of 1 per 10,000.
  15. Conceptually, yeah, no reason it shouldn't work.
  16. I don't see any reason they can't be combined. Other than the whole risk horrible mutilation and death, but that's not important.
  17. Why don't you just use a big chunk of driftwood? Then you can carve it out however you like.
  18. Some sort of crypt, I think.

    And they make an nails on a chalkboard ZZZZTTTT noise when you try to get them unstuck.
  20. Get one of these, they're great...
  21. Better to have the components seperate instead of integrated all in one anyway, IMO. Cheaper, more modular, easier to replace individual components.
  22. Kind of sad to eat the big ones. 60 years of growing ended just so some dumb primate can have a couple minute meal.
