If we can stop aging in vertebrates (read 'Humans') with this product under our belts we could buy out Musk, and Zuckerberg, and Brin and Page. And again put @Cory in charge and he would finally have the resources to sell fish online (even to Canada).

Maybe we can tap into Juan Ponce de León's principles of the Fountain of Youth to solve this caper? 😊 Perhaps @Cory will figure out the cure someday. I think that's half the battle with things, one needs a sincere & true interest in the hobby to begin with, like Cory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it was garden related, like for separating seeds. I will try and track it down and let you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I never tried. 🐝 🐝🐝 🐝 My beekeeping is slightly different than most. I produce honey bees and my customers are other beekeepers. I also make and sell observation hives to institutions and science centers. That's how I am getting the 1930s aquarium fixed. I made and installed the observation hive for the Imagination Station, and in return they are restoring my old aquarium. Here is a video I made about swarming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need another hobby like a hole in the head, but I will definitely will be looking into bees further. Way cool. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat.Shaw Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 This has got to be a thing.. A outlet plug that I can hook my filter up to that can be turned off for only a few minutes when I feed and automatically turns it self back on. When I feed my 75g african cichlid tank I like to unplug the filter so it wont suck up any food. Then I plug it back in when 90% of the food has been consumed. The problem is every so often I forget to plug it back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One problem with it may be is that you would have to feed the fish at exactly the same time everyday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use your phone to turn it off, Click Timer, pick 5 minutes, feed and walk away 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to manually turn your 2.4 GHz off by choice. Edited August 1, 2020 by Bill Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out if interested. Leviton Decora DW15P-1BW smart plug. BTW, my router runs on both 2.4 & 5 ghz as well automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably want to check out the Leviton app as well before making a purchase; not all of them support the "Timer" feature. I'd definitely double-check that network. While 5GHz networks do indeed run faster speeds, there is a serious range compromise, hence the dual-band preference for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
