It looks fantastic Bodhi. I suspect as you already mentioned that you will want to continue to tinker with the lights. I actually think that a bank of 4 96w...
I have been hearing arguments for and against using latex based adhesives and that even coco fiber panels are being coated with latex to extend life... Has...
YES!!!! Latex = bad. Well, there are several studies out there that show this. The one that I refer to has to do with latex gloves specifically. I am...
additional doi:10.1016/S1382-6689(01)00091-6 I found a study done in 2001 by a Dr. Arno Gutleb stating that he discovered an unexpectd toxic effect of using...
Yes, that's the primary paper we refer to. Here's the paper in its entirety if anyone is interested in reading it or if you need help convincing those who...
Sorry for my prolonged absence. We were off fishing in the Keys (tarpon, et al.) so I set my groups to no-mail. We were only gone 8 days but I forgot to...
Welcome back Ed! hope you put a hurt on the fish down there! Just wanted to see if you had gotten a chance to review my question about the latex. Jim agrees,...
Caught some big tarpon & barracuda with our guide. I even caught a small tarpon off the dock at the place we were staying (see attached). I also fell off the...
I agree Latex (although not the most toxic of agents) causes sensitization in humans, and amphibians being smaller probably are the more so harmed. I used...
Ed, sorry to hear about your leg! Nothing makes a vacation like an infection! Glad to hear you got some fish out of the deal. It seems like nobody has an...
I agree Sherry. The latex stuff was driven pretty hard into my brain by a couple of my profs (well respected herp vets) and everything I've read has only...
Hello, I got curious about why latex caused allergies in some. Here is an interesting article. I also wondered if there were other chemicals used in various...
I've been using T-Rex cocofiber panels for one of my vivs. I haven't been able to find out what it used to hold it together. The toads in that viv seem to be...
Jim, being a sculpture (esp one who worked extensively with resins and plastics, I am hesitant to give my rec to this. I ended up very sick (almost died, and...
Hmmm, I did some quick searches and came up with a few things, but I'm not at school, so I'm limited. It has me wondering now...and now that I have better...
Jim, This is just a small account of what chemical sensitivity is. (I was vegetative, paralyzed so on, so not all in the head, lol)... Note (and reason for...
Jim, Just a quick look at regular epoxy for plumbers stick. I say, use it and then after it is cured, apply a thin coat of silicone sealer. (I love the stuff...
Jim, Thanks for the link, later I will look at the msds for that. If I think it is what I think it is, (kind of reminds me of the two part putty for plumbing...
Jim, just a little dd before running an errand. A bit of trouble finding the manufacturer. Also, I am a bit more 'prudent' after what I went through (there is...
hi, im in the process of building a tropical viv for dartfrogs. the tank is an exoterra xxlarge (24"x18"x24"), so im thinking of not doing a water area since i...
Bob from the company sent me the MSDS and I am sending the info on the main ingrediant he lists (at bottom of page) Note it states hormone disrupter. Note...
I'm building two vivs soon for my green anoles (18"W x 18"D x 24"H), and I want to do water features. I haven't done water before, so don't know what kind of...
If you expect to move a small amount of water more than 2-3 inches, those pumps are quite underpowered. If you want a stream and want to raise the water 6-12"...
Maybe this is a dumb question but has anyone worked with them? I've read they're a great food source and keep a vivarium free of bacteria and mold but wanted...
Can someone give me a website or instructions showing how to install single and multiple fans on viv. I am interested in connecting directly to an adaptor and...
I stock my tanks with isopods but I am not sure if they make a difference. They don't harm the inhabitants and do feed on decaying organic matter so I am...
