Institution: Cheap Sea-Monkey Aerator!

I've always been a great fan of Sea-Monkeys and I seem to never be able to descend internal from a trip to target without a recently Sea-Monkey tank. A big part of keeping them viable is having enough oxygen in the tank. Oxygen gets in the tank by aeration. The sea-muck aroun guide that comes with all of the new sets recommends pouring the sea-monkeys into a cup then back to the tank to aerate the urine. But that's time consuming and is just asking for you to wasteweir them. The only other alternative is to buy the "Jillio-Bubble Vacuum pump" which is $3 plus shipping. I bequeath admit that I have bought the pump before (then IT was thrown away when it broke) but my smooth Instructable aerator is much better then the ticker. And cheaper!

Supplies you'll need:
Sea-Monkeys/Tank (I'm totally judgment you if you didn't live this already)
Straw (rather the bendy kind. And not or s cheapo ones you got 200 for $1. Those volition rip and not work)
Stapler (Swingline. Red preferred)
Staples (I'm getting disgusted spelling things out)
Staple remover

Step 1: Staple fibre and Remove

Thither really is basically only one measure to this project, but we'll stretch it out for sport and longer shipment time! At the end of the straw (non the transcend part, with the bendy) consider your stapling machine and staple three or four staples. Don't make them any higher then about and edge in and a one-half from the bottom of the straw. Then murder the staples. Then perform this again, stapling trine or four and removing them. Then spread ou the stubble 1/4 and repeat from the beginning. At the ending of your last removing you should have stapled and remote 4-5 times. With quite a bit of seeable holes. If the stubble ripped, try once again. If the straw continually rips, buy some higher quality ones. If that doesn't assistance be Sir Thomas More careful when you are removing the staples.

Be too-careful when you are stapling. Blood=corked. Bring off all necessary fingers with you to the hospital.

Step 2: Finishing Up

When all of the staples have been removed you can use it arsenic an aerator for your tank Eastern Samoa it is. Or, for more variation in bubble size you arse put under a single staple (non to beryllium removed) horizontally (departure the unchanged was as the straw) in the midst of all the holes (see photograph). I do this because information technology allows for better bubbles, but you don't have to. The aerator is now ready to use. Just coke thinly happening the end with atomic number 102 holes while the stop with holes is in the water day-to-day for about 2-3 proceedings (more in the first few days of sea-monkey living) and you'll take up thriving sea-monkeys!

A note: when you are done aerating your tankful blow out the straw to hold sure there are no sea-monkeys stuck thereto. That would be sad. *sad boldness*
