how likely is that? They have a marine phase in their life cycle.

I visited The Pet Centre in Lower Hutt today. Confirmed that they do sell them for $3 inc gst, but they had none in stock. I asked about license, and their aquarium guy said they had checked and a license to sell was not required. Hmm.

So you don't get your feet wet?? How much are these guys?

The Doc's super duper first nano betta tank attempt.

Isn't that the Walstad method .. chuck all the plants in and see what grows? -
I didn't treat our carpet etc, and manually removed all the fleas I could find after our puppy got infected at puppy school. It did take a few hours of work painstakingly going through every cm of his fur, and skin but got them all.

I have a heater in the tank and it goes on at night time .. turns off by itself during the day when it's hot enough. If it gets too hot I pull some curtains across.
-
Just sun light.

It's oxygen which is a result of photosynthesis. Even after a year my low tech planted tank does this, but it also sits in full sunshine.
-
If you still have your old gravel, can you test it with some vinegar? Or, just bag it and put it into your tank.
-
Hmm. A Larry Niven fan, or perhaps Jerry Pournelle.

Or our descendants as postulated in this paper.

The idea that we are living in a simulation solves a basic problem in theology; it allows both theists and atheists to be both correct! And of course it's been fodder for science fiction for years. Hardly expected the DOE to fund such research though. If one is not familiar with the concept of the universe as a computational machine, there's "Programming the Universe" by Seth Lloyd which is not too hard a read.

Wake me when we have free heating for our fish tanks!
-
Nah, that's just a simulated headache
-
Did the authors take into account that the simulators are also running inside a simulation?
-
Looks like these scientists haven't heard of Sophia's test. They've devised their own to determine whether we are living in a simulation http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.1847

Dispose of unwanted fish in trash? World issues solved here!

This thread has definitely gone south. -
Sounds like you can get close enough by subtract 32 and divide by 2

Oh no .. she'd turn off the pumps and dismantle the whole thing! Better to keep her inside and not out. Since the whole thing is under the clothesline, I am offering to hang out the washing!!
-
I'll lock the door so she can't.
-
Yeah, it does that a bit ... like flushing a loo. But it's outside so can't hear it from inside.

I got the raft in place now, and am restricting the waterfall to the centre so that I don't lose too much down the sides. Still waiting for a source of 2 inch net pots so I have not drilled the holes yet. The system is working on a 2 hourly flood and drain cycle lasting 2.5 minutes, and hourly at mid day ( timer only has 8 settings ). There's an air gap of about an inch below the styrofoam raft for air to circulate and reach the oxygen roots.

Have a look out of the corner of your eye sometimes. Do you occasionally see things which aren't there? That's a sign of optimizations in the simulation you're in. -
Or, plug the drive into your own laptop ( presume that you have one ), and boot from a linux USB live distro.

Ahh.. my guess was wrong then
