classclownfish Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Does someone here know which shop in town might have one of these in stock or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I am positive you could build one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) You can get the tubing and flow control "T" at any LFS. If you need a syringe (I'm assuming that it used to start the siphon) I have several left over from medicating my dog you are welocmed to. Or you can just tie a knot in the tubing and loosen or tighten to adjust the water flow. Edited May 19, 2008 by dapettit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classclownfish Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thank you. I didn't get a reply right away so I ended up just adding 2 to my order on Marine Depot. I prefer giving local shops business if I can, but I needed some soon as I may be getting a foster animal in my tank this week. I've done the knot in air tubing but I am a big fan of spending a few bucks to make things easier. It was only like $8 for it and if it works well then it's money well spent. Any device that makes adding fish easier is always a plus but especially if the device allows me to start a siphon without risking getting water in my mouth ;-) You can get the tubing and flow control "T" at any LFS.

Entropy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I paid about $2000 for mine. I figured I could get one from Marine Depot for $8 or just get kidney stones and make a hospital visit. Hey at least I got a really cool drip line out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
