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). Sam "REBEL JOE" wrote in message ... Has this been tested over a long time to make sure it won't hurt the fish. Since its so new. Or the plants. http://community.webtv.net/rebeljoe/POND |

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? Kathleen |

Hi Kathleen,
2,000 hours was deemed long enough because of the characteristics of the product specifically: * The product does not mix with water so the animal is not subjected to the product. * The product is only one molecule thick at any spot * The product is non-toxic and bio-degradable * The product contains compounds that are located within the animal itself The product is not like an oil slick. The product floats on the surface of the water but it is only one molecule thick. At this scale you can not see it or feel it. The surface film on your pond is many thousand times thicker. The product does not adhere to fish. If they would jump up through the product they might have a few molecules on them while in the air but when they re-entered the water these few molecules would detach and attempt to rejoin the membrane above.

Is there any reason to apply it this time of year?
"Sam Hopkins" wrote in message .. . Hi Everyone, First off let me say that normally I wouldn't post commercial info on a newsgroup, but I think that we are all one big family here and I'm not some person posting an ad and then never coming back. I just wanted to post a message letting you all know of a new product my company has come out with which reduces evaporation. Evaporation as you all know causes countless top offs and as a few people here have posted, sometimes death when we forget to turn the hose off. If you're a ponder with aquariums you know that evaporation raises humidity and adds a certain smell to the room. Evaporation is also responsible for countless other problems that we generally don't associate it with. The product is called "NO EVAPORATION!" and is available online for purchase. It's pretty reasonable at $9.99 for a 30 week supply for ponds and 100+ week supply for aquariums. For a limited time first time buyers can get a bottle for free at our online store. It should also be available at your local pet stores in the coming weeks. You can order the product (or free bottle) or get more information by going to our website at http://www.noevaporation.com If you have any questions please let me know! Sam |

I guess it would depend where you are. If it's still hot where you are
(lucky) then yes. If you're someplace cold like in PA with me then probably not. ![]() The product is also for aquariums so if you have aquariums or indoor ponds you can use it.
