Hot Water Treatment for Nematodes in Amorphs and a note on Spanthantheum

From: "StroWi at t-online.de" <StroWi at t-online.de> on 2007.04.01 at 08:37:06(15540) Allan, just one point before you go and buy an aquarium heater... I am not sure, if it will be possible to set a temperature of 46 °C with an aquaium heater. Normally they work with a bimetal switch which might not be suitable for such high temperatures. So you have to inqiuire at a pet shop if they do. Good heating, Bernhard. +More -----Original Message----- > Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 21:02:32 +0200 > Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Hot Water Treatment for Nematodes in Amorphs > and a note on Spanthantheum > From: ALLAN TETZLAFF > To: Discussion of aroids > The commercial ones they use in labs run from about 700 - 3000 US > dollars from what I've seen.
