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.

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.

Teeb,

I don't know where you live but here in Maryland I have bought large
syringes w/ needles I use for injecting epoxy into tight spaces by
asking for them at the CVS pharmacy counter. No problem.

Ok, OK......
If you can not get it from your state / country / planet / galaxy, then try
online.
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.

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.

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.
