Which is the same reason they keep selling horribly inbred deformed mutated carp.
Looks like a really pretty plant, but there are a lot of nice looking true aquatic plants too.
I shove it into the gravel down to the bottom of the tank and keep it there until the water starts to flow clear then move it over one vac width. REpeat until half the tank's water is gone.
I'd definitely like to go see it, don't want to go to Auckland to do it though.
Huh, Interesting...My geeky childhood dreams involved more jets and buzzing towers.
*Edit* Actually, on second thought so do my current dreams, but with more hot chicks.
I've always heard when someone's turned 21 for the second time that's 22, then 23 for the third. I have a friend who is on her 39th 21st. Your method would make her 819 years old.
Anyway, I've met Warren a few times, I know he doesn't look 23.
I've had that happen multiple times, never a loss.
In fact, right now I'm trying to figure out if my stockpile if heaters actually has any that work properly. I've disassembled one that doesn't heat, it's sitting in my lap right now. A jager. There's a wire going up the middle of the heater that, if it was ever insulated, appears to have burned off all the insulation and then corroded into a pile of black powder in the bottom of the heater. Looks in perfect shape from the outside though.
I'd imagine it's possible to swap the regulators, but that wouldn't be the issue. LPG cannisters are intended to handle pressures in the region of 150 PSI to liquify the LPG. CO2 the pressure needed to liquify it is up around 800-1000PSI.
With few exceptions, like intakes without any type of strainer, healthy fish do not get stuck to filter intakes. The actual current at the strainer is relatively small.
If you can get some coarse sponge, like used inside the filter, putting that over the intake would work well and not clog up quickly.
