hi there area 51. i use a 5ml syringe (30cents at any pharmacy) attached to some hard airline tubing (available at $1 a metre at clementi's 328). this allows me to feed my sun corals easily and with accuracy. if youd like me to fix you one, just pm me drop by my place i'll give you one ya.

cheers,

ian
