Lukedafluke Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hep people got this idea off youtube diy brine shrimp hatchery, but alterd it slightly All you need is: 2x suction cups airline hose top half of a 2L soft drink bottle with the cap a bit of silicone Firstly cut a hole in the middle of one suction cup a little smaller then the diameter of the airline hose your using, place the suction cup in the soft drink Cap forcing it to sit nice and air tight (silicone can be used) then feed airline hose through the cap flush with the suction cup get the top of the 2L bottle and attach the second suction cup to the outside of the bottle so that it can be placed inside of the tank and sucked to the glass.... its costs virtually nothing, its quick and easy Pics if you don't understand or want to have a look (sorry bout the bad quality but just in case you cant see it that's a clear suction cap in the lid ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristlenose_boy93 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Nice one Luke, although im not sure if it will be a good egg tumbler because all the eggs might be blown out of it, unless you out a covering on it. Etienne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukedafluke Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 you can sit the top of the bottle a centimeter or two above water level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishyweare Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 i use a 1.25 ltr bottle same principle but suction cap i use a heater suction cap as i use this around the neck of the bottle as i find it easier to pull bottle off the side of the tank . cheers Paul.

wookie Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 A few drops of methylene blue every couple of days is good to help stop fungus i have found and take dead eggs out 2. Not sure how you spell it but i use a "pipette" to pick dead eggs out and it works great for administering the meth blue aswell heres a link to what they look like http://www.labdepotinc.com/Category_Details~id~216.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukedafluke Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks for your great ideas people i was thinking how to get fresh water from the tank this fry saver would be sitting into the fry saver? Make tiny slits in the bottle? Ideas welcome Cheers Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
