AAAHHH...the turkey baster...AKA TB.
When starting out many moons ago the TB was a mainstay for the tank. After a few months my first TB died. I have included a pic to show its fate. On a good note, Glampka sent me 2 new ones while I was in mourning clear from Buffalo NY to help my situation. All I could do was say thanks on another salt site but here I can give Glampka a little Karma for a kind deed.  | |

Now you guys are going to find this a bit gross, but over here turkey basters were taken off the supermarket shelves a few years back as some desperate people ( feminists mainly ) were using them for self fertilization. The supermarkets were quite concerned about their legal obligations. True story, would I lie?
