Sea Cucumber Question + Mosquito Question

[joachimsim]

Might sound like a silly question, but now I got worried with the Dengue fever scare.

Do Mosquito lay eggs in a bucket of Marine Salt Water? and any problems??


I heard abt Sea Cucumbers/Jelly Fish Danger of being sucked up Power Heads...May I ask if you use the provided cover given with a 0.3 cm ( approx ) hole gap....can they be sucked up as well??

I have never kept a Sea Cucumber and I donno if they are be like Jelly and suck up the small holes?

I wonder in Cold Countries where you have to use a heater...how you prevent Starfish and Sea Cucumber from getting Fried?

sea cucumber can get stuck at power heads inlet, I lost one because of this. so take precautions if you have one in your tank. Best to wrap up the PH inlet with some netting.

HOw small can these Sea Cucumbers squeeze into a SPace??

jonapur: how does the BBS container thing you have work?

And yes sea cucumbers can kena suck in, just ask the gazillion reefers who kena before. one reefer had his cuke puke its guts just by being near the inlet and freaking out at the suction force.

Very simple.get a 1.5 litre bottle,then cut the bottom.tie nylon strings on the bottom so that it can hang.then use a screw driver(+) to make a hole on the bottle cap.get an air tube and push it through the hole.make sure water doesn't leak.then it is complete.
How to use?
connect the tube to an air pump,on the pump then add water to the pump put the bbs eggs into the bottle.make sure the pump is strong.wait till the eggs hatch then u use a strong micro torch to light the bottom.most of the bbs will tot is food and will be attracted to near the tube hole.then disconnect the air tube from the pump and point to the tank that u wan to feed. out side also got sell but very expensive 30 plus! so diy better.
