  1. I'll give this one a go As the contact opens / closes it creates a small arc (spark), this arc emits electrical radiation (radio waves), some of these waves will be in the same frequency at the broadcast TV signals -this you get a burst of static on the picture. It will als have an effect on things like radio and ADSL broadband. Better contacts (and also clean contacts) will help to eliminate this arcing, an inert gas filled tube will also help but I don't know if any heaters do this.
  2. nothing [to see here, move along] Edit: Oh no me cat spell I'll try again... once [upon a time...]
  3. in some upland stream /me ducks and runs for cover

  5. Potamogeton ochreatus Lilaeopsis ruthiana Cant help with the pond filter/pump

  7. Interesting question as I think I have got my old man to do the same to their pond, about 5*8m spring/run off fed. The major problem there is nitrates and phosphates Plants: Lemma spp & Azolla filiculoides for the surface to keep the temps lower and provide shade - these will need to be kept under control or may cover the whole pond Ranunculus amphitrichus for some of the side, like the water Some of the sedges might do ok, "cutty-grass" carex geminata?, carex secta?, carex flaviformis?, carex coriacea? Scented broom if there is room? Parataniwha if there is shade Sweet-scented grass Flax Fish: Inanga - wont breed but don't mind slightly warmer water and easy to get hold of Banded kokopu - wont want it too warm, and like shelter - I believe can landlock Mudfish? Common bullies - might breed Crain's bully - might/should breed I wouldn't catch non-diadromous Galaxiid as their populations are much more at risk than the 'white-bait'
  8. Point a desk fan to the surface of the water, will help a lot as the evaporation will cool the water. This is what I use on my 400 lt coldwater tank and yesterday was the first that it came up over 23 for a while. It hit 23deg yesterday even though yesterday was cooler than it has been as the humidity was at over 80% so very little available cooling.
  9. Glossostigma elatinoides? or some thing a bit taller... Lilaeopsis ruthiana?
  10. First post has bee updated with a lighter version of the video.
