I have the answer to reducing evaporation

Hello,

It's had over 2,000 hours of testing with live fish, plants and
even a turtle with no ill effects detected. It's important to note that the
product does not mix with water so the fish are not subjected to the product
(even though it is non-toxic).

Has this been tested over a long time to make sure it won't hurt the
fish. Since its so new. Or the plants.

2,000 hours. Just over 83 days. Not hardly long term from where I'm
sitting.

So this stuff just sort of floats on the surface of the water like an
oil slick?

What if you drop a fish through it from above, or a fish jumps through
it? Can it occlude their gills?

How does it affect reproduction? What does it do to eggs, insect
larvae, tadpoles?

Hey Sam

I bet you'll never find a better product testing, and critiquing group
than here @ rec.ponds.
If this group could test a lot of the products being made, we might not
have as many recalls
or hazardous items released upon the public.

Maybe this group should beta test Bill Gates new windows operating
system " Long horn "
perhaps it could help the public avoid getting "gored" by the bull...
ahem... I mean Bill again. ;~)

VIVA la Lixux!!!
I only use windoze when I have to.
I'm beginning to hate windoze more every day.

I use it every day now, most of the day. The company I work at has moved all
of it's apps to web-based apps so the platform doesn't mean much anymore for
every day stuff.

Have you checked the *BSD branch of UNIX yet?

I actually run a lot of my own programs (doing speech, data collection and
data analysis) and use many berkeley Unix DOS utilities in DOS . Windows
Excel has served as a nice replacement for many Unix command line programs
that DOS never was able to do. I was never able to beat Unix into doing the
RealTime processes that I had to be able to do (I have to play auditory
files one sample point at a time).

I went to the BSD site after you mentioned it and I'm now trying to figure
out how to incorporate it into our lab. The Berkeley Dos Unix utilities are
nice but they just don't quite cut it. At this point I find that each OS has
something to offer that the others don't (though I am now running real time
data collection in WinNT with a windows app I was able to put together with
BuilderCPP and CDX - In which case Windows is the only OS that will do
everything I need - I just feel loyal to Unix) DK

?!? Shocking statement! Where is it that you think Linux is lacking in
regard to Unix?
