A silly little DIY for small tanks, made WC much easier!
 

Love my little 3 gallon, been doing lots of small water changes instead of one big one (like a big gulp cup a day on workdays).

Keep nice well water from home in a couple of gallon jugs under my desk, when pouring the water into the tank I was really disturbing the substrate and plants (and probably freaking out the residents too!)

The tank is half under a shelf, so I can't top off into the HOB, and putting a cup in the tank (to pour into) isn't possible with how dense it is planted.

One cheap plastic serving size spoon and a few minutes with a lighter gave me this, the filling spoon! :) Just pour into the bowl of the spoon and it fans out and doesn't disturb anything.

Formed the tank hanger part around a chopstick. If you try this yourself be sure to get the plastic hot enough to bend under it's own weight almost or it will just break. Blow on it for a while or dip in water to set (no, I didn't dip it in the tank - a cup of unrelated cold water :) )

Great idea!

I wonder how long until someone patents a glass version!

I lay a zip lock bag on the surface of the water and pour onto that.

Smart!

You should patent it!

Or it could be a wabi kusa holder too....

Nice work!

Btw, package is on the move. Eta friday!

Good idea. Which light is that? The regular fugeray or the ray2?

Awesome idea! Now patent pending by Finnex. lol JK

Buddha - its a Fugeray, 12 inch, love it!

Acitydeweller - thanks for the package, I'll be watching for it!


Lowe - I'll sell you the rights, very reasonably! For this and my Fugeray-in-a-hood :)
The retail version should be clear acrylic, we could put the logo on the arm!

Clever!

Great idea, I'm going to make one sometime :)

I have the fugeray 16 on my 6 gallon. It is still new, does it grow low light ok?

fugeray - have them on both my tanks, ver nice growth on both low and mid light plants, check my sig!

Cool idea. I usually just pour water onto my open palm to disperse it, but your spoon disperser looks like a good idea.

Ziplock bags are where it's at.
