Well it just worked successfully to do a pwc on each of my tanks. Even when the fish got near the opening they didn't show any signs of being pulled into the siphon. I definitely could add some mesh to make it 100% safe (good idea!).



See the attachment for what is what is stuck into the end of the pipe to hold the hose. Keep in mind that isn't an actual picture of the proper sizes. I used 1 inch PVC and 1/2 inch hose (1/2 barb). There is probably a much better way to do this part but I didn't really care. I put a bunch of teflon tape on the threads but it occasionally drips a bit. I probably could hot glue it or something.



It was like $10 for all of the supplies at Home Depot. It's pretty neat! Attached Thumbnails __________________
