Target Feeder - Marlooney Style

[GoTakuF1]

Alright peeps, I told a couple of yous I was going to do this like two years ago and never got around to it. I finally got some supplies to make a couple for the cool cats on here (come get 'em, you *******s) and I documented the process for you to enjoy:

Parts required:

- Scissors
- Syringe
- A section of airline tubing
- Blowdryer (you like my special Chargers themed one?)
- 1/4" OD rigid tubing

Step 1:

- Cut down the rigid tubing to the proper size for your tank. (Man, I have sexy hands, I should be a hand model).

Step 2:

- Use the blowdryer to heat up a section of the rigid tubing for about 10-15 secs or until it is pliable.

Step 3:

- Gently bend the section about 40-60 degrees.

Step 4:

- You can make as many kinks as you want. You can get creative so you can get to hard to reach spots in the tank. If you have a round object, like a water bottle, you can use that to make more gentle bends.

Step 5:

- Attach one end of the airline tubing to the rigid tubing.

I like to use this feeder for all my feeding needs: corals, fish, dogs, babies, etc. The more precise your feeding doses, the more will be consumed and less wasted food/water quality contamination. You can also use this to suck up stuff on the bottom of the tank or zap aiptasia with kalk paste. The world is your oyster so get creative with it!

Enjoy.

Man, I like the Granite counter tops. I think that's the same kind I had in my last home in Scripps Ranch. :)

What's the name of it anyway?
