    Ouch!

    I once accidently dumped a half a bottle of DT into the tank, was pouring a cap full when the dog jumped on my and caused me to tip the bottle. (i dont pour over the tank anymore lol. lesson learned) atleast the Fan worm was happy for a while. =)

    AAAHHH...the turkey baster...AKA TB.

    When starting out many moons ago the TB was a mainstay for the tank. After a few months my first TB died. I have included a pic to show its fate. On a good note, Glampka sent me 2 new ones while I was in mourning clear from Buffalo NY to help my situation. All I could do was say thanks on another salt site but here I can give Glampka a little Karma for a kind deed.[​IMG]

    Now you guys are going to find this a bit gross, but over here turkey basters were taken off the supermarket shelves a few years back as some desperate people ( feminists mainly ) were using them for self fertilization. The supermarkets were quite concerned about their legal obligations. True story, would I lie?
