feeding corals

[justforfun]

i have started to build a large selection of sps /lps coral....i have been direct feeding about 1 a week sometimes 2 ....my buddy nwdiver has the best feeding tube i have seen...(glass)...problem is the contact to get them from does not exist anymore!!! this thing was great its 24" long 1/2 dia...then goes down to a small tip for 1.5" or so.....you can feed the small hikari mysis shrimp 1 at a time!!!!! its AWESOME.....anybody seen one like that please let me know...we have a chemestry lab that can blow the glass like we want but we cant find the little bulbs for the end...(the bulb is a big part of why the tube works so well...really small bulb..

I believe what you might be looking for is some wort of glass pipette. At least that is what it sounds like you're describing. Check out this linki and see what you think.
glass pipette - Detailed info for glass pipette,dropper vials,glass pipette,Various size ,elbow and flat on Alibaba.com

You could also do what some do, including myself and head out to a dollor sotre and pick up a turkey baster for $1.10 w/tax. Works for my little nano tanks, but of course larger tanks would need one of the commmercail coral feeder tubes.

Also could be a Sampling Pipette that can be found at any home brew store. Pyrex makes a nice one.

yea ive tried all the cheap turkey basters.....i have 4 diff. brand ones.......but the custom blown glass one todd has is hands down the best tool ever!!! he had to have the guy ship them 4 or 5 x cause they kept breaking...he currently has 2 but we r trying to get more or find the little bulb the inventor used on the original.
