A Tool For Aptasia

[spazz]

I COSTOM MADE A TOOL FOR GETTING RID OF APTASIA IN HARD TO REACH PLACES. IMO IT WORKS GREAT! ITS MADE FROM A CLEAR ACRYLIC TUBE I TOOK OUT OF MY UNDER GRAVEL FILTER FOR MY FRESH WATER TANK. I PUT A BEND IN IT AND FILED DOWN THE TIP OF IT SO A SMALL GUAGE NEEDLE COULD SLIP OVER THE END OF IT. THEN I USED SOME SUPER GLUE TO GLUE IT IT PLACE. THIS WAY IF THE TIP OF THE NEEDLE GETS STUCK IN THE ROCK IT WONT COME OFF THE TUBE AND CAN BE WIGGLED LOOSE FROM THE ROCK. THE KILLING AGENT I USE IS LEMON JUICE. IT WORKS GREAT AND YOU DONT HAVE TO SPECAL ORDER IT FROM ANYWHERE. :D :D :D
I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME OF YOU WHO ARE BATTTLING APTASIA
:uzi: :blown: :hammer:

Very nicely done. Is the tubbing flexible?
p.s. Try not to use your cap locks. It gives the impression that you are YELLING at us.

Nice work. You should post this in the DIY forum.

No offense intended, Casino, but I didn't get the impression he was yelling at all. I've seen that "Internet Etiquette" rule about caps lock for so long it's really no longer pertinent. I never use caps lock myself but I consider it almost like a different font, without going to the trouble of specifying a different font. You just press one key and you have it! If the person who's using caps lock to yell, you can usually pick that up from the language they are using. The caps just add emphasis.

GO PATS!

The tube is even better that way cause if you can bend it, you can keep it in a position where it can reach and stay that way. I agree, post it in the Do It Yourself forum.

It dosent bother me either, but some others do find it annoying, to the extent that if they see all caps they wont even answer a post. So to play it safe, we usually encourage to not use caps.

Well, besides the etiquette stuff, it is also hard to read.
