Default 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!!!

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.

Default I have the answer to reducing evaporation

Is there any reason to apply it this time of year?

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.

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?
