My husband is allergic to clams and oysters. The first time I tried
conch I offered Dennis one bite to try. He spent the night blowing out
both ends. Not a pretty sight. We steer clear of all hard-shelled sea
food from now on. Crustaceans are OK.

For some odd reason, I did collect some jewelweed seed this year. So, if
anyone wants some just email me with your snail mail addy. There is a
technique to collecting the seed. When the seeds are ripe, the slightest
touch will send the seeds flying everywhere. So you must quickly grab the
ripe pods so that they explode in your hand.
BTW I also collected some seed from a native bog iris if anyone is
interested.

Spray what? Pond/pool/watergarden centres may have some kind of patch
material you could use?
Although there is often good discussion on this list about items to
construct, I haven't seen much about what to construct them with. Could
we have a few suggestions regarding adhesives, sealants etc? Attaching
tubing to plastic-lined trays and tanks can be especially difficult -
even when the sufaces are roughened, the glue or sealant can still peel
away easily at the merest touch.
> I am sinking, but I'm not going to drown.
Sad to hear about your fish. Still, you still have your system plus what
you've learned recently... Things can only get better. :)

Dead clams? Water hyacinth? When you mentioned live clams I thought you
meant as part of the filtration for your fish - what do you intend to
use dead ones for? Is the hyacinth in additon to your food plants? While
I'm sure they're good at removing nutrients from the water, what do you
do with the plant when it's grown and won't it take up a lot of space
while it's growing?
Could you describe the plan you're aiming at?

Silicone might be an option for patching but you need to use the type
that is safe for fish. Aquatic Ecosystems would be the source.
