Re: Aipitasia wont die - Maybe a cure
petco and petsmart sell plastic tip syringes
look in the bird department or small animals or get one of the nudi's there even cooler -- Richard Reynolds |

Re: Aipitasia wont die - Maybe a cure
??? I have bought them several times here in Washington, for
injecting glue into really tight spaces. Unless it varies state by state, there should not be a prescription required.

Re: Aipitasia wont die - Maybe a cure
I am sure it is a state by state thing.. There is a poster in every pharmacy
here in NM that says a prescription is required for the sale of syringes. As we have seen though it's easy enough to get them other places such as vet supplies. I don't know if those are regulated here or not. I've never had the need for one that small. The thing we use to give the horses their worming medicine looks like a huge caulking gun.

Like this Walgreens.com http://www.walgreens.com/search/sear...Fstore%2Fstore _side_search.jhtml Watch out for the URL-warp. Above is just one link. To original poster, online is another source of getting thing that your neck-of-wood does not provide. To get rid or control of any algae, best is to go with the natural way. All my algae in check by my Tang and peppermint shrimp. All individual critter have it own personality. Just like you. Try buy a couple and see if they like certain algae. Return those that are not. Make sure your LFS policy can be return. I am trying to promote as much any type of algae but you trying to get rid of it. How interesting..... Find the source that promote your algae growth. A N N - is the common source. Light - bad light or it spectrum. Food - Certain food will promote alot of phosate. Protein Skimmer - Weak or unefficient skimming is another source. Overfeeding - Food that are not eaten fast enough will dolute some of it nutrient to your water. I think I cover most of it sources. There should be more. CapFusion,... |

Re: Aipitasia wont die - Maybe a cure
Unless you live in one of these states:
Alaska, California, Conneticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Rhode Island You can buy insulin syringes over the counter in your local pharmacy. Most online pharmacies will not ship into these states without a prescription (as it is illegal in most cases). Try a vet or something, but trying to buy synringes online if you live in one of these states can get you into some serious trouble. -mat |

Re: Aipitasia wont die - Maybe a cure
Then mail the poor guy some so we can end this, lol. I am in New Mexico..
you cannot buy them like that *here*. As I said, I am sure there are some states you can, as we have already seen.
