SRC Member poomoon Posted June 14, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi, Anyone knows where can i put a long turkey baster? I intend to use it for feeding corals and throwing away debris... do you mean where you can buy ? for feeding, i recall ray doing a syringe glued up with e balloon stick. although a bit pricey, you can also get the kent sea squirt (21" that can extend to 35") and has a retractable prong also for more meaty stuff. the hole though is quite small, so i have increased this quite so it can handle mysis and brine very well (original state quite hard, tends to get stuck) ... clearning debris, not recommended, maybe some detritus you can remove but might end up getting sand or other bigger particles get stuck. cheers !

Mine is $2 from Daiso, vivo city. It is just a plastic tube which you can suck in stuff such as mysis shrimp and press and squirt it onto your corals, etc. Note that it is not that long; I think about 20 cm ++. I am still looking for a cheap but longer one; however, in the meantime, this one has been serving me well. Quote () Happy will do ...

SRC Member poomoon Posted June 15, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2010 Can i use air tube? Air tube may be too flexible this harder to control on target area, that's why recommended is PVC tube or those 'balloon sticks or tubes' since they are more rigid.

SRC Member LaW Posted June 15, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2010 get it from daiso, very cheap. $2. seen in at all branches before. Quote If a man could beat his own fantasy.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted June 18, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted June 18, 2010 you can use an air tubing, but you need to tie a rigid stick to support the air tubing. defeats the purpose anyway as you can use a balloon stick as raydiative mentioned.

SRC Member comycus Posted June 18, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 18, 2010 still cycling .... getting the necessities for this hobby now... somehow abit regret going into this hobby ... dont even want to look into credit card bill now... Just my 2 cents worth. Ease up on the buying for now. U prob already have all the essentials. U can always also choose cheaper alternatives. Like the sea squirt vs. ray's balloon stick. Of course, sea squirt is a good investment, at the end of the day, your choice la. Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member albinosage Posted June 18, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 18, 2010 I am curious though, bro kk, why did you buy the $39 sea squirt and call it a good investment when Poomoon's 2nd reply about it to this thread wasn't a good review? I would have thought Ray's recycled balloon stick worked better. Anyway, personally, I buy a $1.60 60ml syringe from Guardian and attach a tube to it, can use both for feeding and blowing detritus from rocks haha.
