PondPak Sonar AS pond & lake weed treatment 1 Acre

By admin On April 24, 2010 Comments Off

  • The 1 Acre PondPak AS includes 2 pints of Sonar AS liquid, 2 gallons of Captain*, 20 lbs. of Revive* and 4 SePRO Blue* Pond Colorant water soluble dye packs
  • combats unwanted aquatic weeds, algae and nutrient overload common to small ponds

Product Description
An improper balance of nuisance aquatic weeds and algae interferes with your ability to enjoy your pond. Left uncontrolled, aquatic plants such as duckweed can upset your pond’s natural ecosystem, affecting wildlife nesting and fish populations and making your pond unsightly. Weeds and algae can also ruin your recreational use for fishing, swimming and boating.
Sonar controls unwanted aquatic vegetation by restricting the plants ability to make food, causing them t… More >>

Aquatic Weed Harvester – Sunset Lake – Vicksburg, Michigan

Truthfully I’m not sure what this piece of equipment is called. It typically arrives mid-summer and cuts down a lot of the lily pads and lake weeds. It usually stays no more than 4 days and it’s off to another lake.


If the great flood flooded the entire surface of the earth, then how did all of the salt water animals whose?

evolution led them to be able to exist ONLY in water that was a certain salinty continue to exist? The rain would have diluted the salt water and killed all of the organisms (sea weed, fish, whales … everything)? In addition, the salt water would have mixed with the fresh water in the lakes and rivers and killed all of the fresh water organisms. TODAY, if you take one organisms from fresh to saltwater, or reverse, it dies. Why didn’t all of the aquatic organisms on earth die?

A few minutes later-
Many of your answers disagree with what I learned in the bible as the bible said that the water covered the entire earth. In addition, are some of you saying that god can stop the mixing of fresh and salt water? C’mon, makes no sense.
Regarding CVO’s answer … that is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. First of all, if you took biology, you learned about diffusion … the salt water and fresh water do NOT layer and that is clear as rivers flow into the ocean and mix. In addition, I’ve not ever read anything other than in your response that shows that fresh/salt water ORGANISMS, not just fish, can ADAPT. Beside, what I’ve read about evolution is that an organism can’t adapt but some are born already adapted and THAT is why they survive, not because they made some sort of decision to change their genetics. Your level of ignorance does not help answer my question.

BTW, how about some scientific reference regarding putting freshwater fish in salt water and they survive? … you must be kidding.
For Doma …
Things adapted? So, did they change their genetic make up and grow things? Did the fish decide to grow wings and fly over the flood? I don’t get it … how does something adapt in 40 days? If things can adapt, I’m going to grow at least a foot and join the NBA to make six million a year!

In addition, if sin caused genetic defects, where in the bible are genetic defects described? Did the bible talk about DNA and genes? Did the bible talk about dominance and recessiveness … did the bible talk about multiple alleles or co-dominance or incomplete dominance or it that just your twist on some phrase in the bible … oh, and which one so that I can determine MY twist on that same section.
Royal Racer … OH C’MON!! You MUST be kidding! Just where in your fantasy book does it say THAT?! That’s a totally new one.

  • ISBN13: 9780896726390
  • Condition: NEW
  • Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.

Product Description
Along the San Marcos River, in and surrounding Palmetto State Park in south central Texas, lie more than five square kilometers of relict ecosystem known as the Ottine Wetlands. A lowland counterpart of the Lost Pines, this rich and fascinating area of swamps, marshes, and ponds is situated on the 98th meridian–the biogeographical divide separating the eastern plants and animals of the United States from their western counterparts–and also along a similar ecologic… More >>

Anyone know anything about PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

By admin On April 21, 2010 1 Comment

The test-tubes shown were set up by a student to test the effect of light on the process of photosynthesis. All test-tubes contain water and bromothymol blue. (note that bromothymol blue is a chemical indicator that changes colour from blue to yellow in the presence of carbon dioxide.) The student used a straw to bubble carbon dioxide gas through each test-tube until the mixture of water and indicator turned to yellow. Equal-sized pieces of freshwater weed were added to test-tubes A and B. The test-tubes were stoppered, and black plastic was wrapped around test-tube B. All test-tubes were exposed to a light source for a period of 24 hours.

test-tube A: with aquatic plant
test-tube B: with aquatic plant and black plastic wrapped around
test-tube C: with light source

QUESTIONS
- Which test-tube represents the control? Explain.
- What hypothesis was the student testing?
- Describe the colour change, if any, in each test-tube after 24-hour period that would support the hypothesis. In each case explain the expected results.

If anyone can answer any of these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.
