    I made the same thing about a week ago! I didn't make mine as long as yours cuz I didn't have enough ridgid airline tubing but it is a great DIY. Glad to see others are thinking alike.

    A 60cc syringe makes it even more user friendly. If you are feeding individual heads, it's even more convient to bend the tip. I do this with a little heat from the hairdryer.

    This pic shows the bent tip. You could get in there and feed every head. This tubastrea would bite :) It actually had the stick and wouldn't give it up. Sorry, bad quality pic.... it was from 2005.

    Awesome DIY, thanks for sharing! I have been really wanting a better way to target feed for a while and this looks like exactly what I want.

    One thing to keep in mind after a year, try to get slightly larger rigid tubing. This size tube sometimes has a tough time sucking up large mysis. I would love another 1/16th of an inch.
