Ace, I may be interested in a Roti tube and Brine tube but not sure. I'm buying Mike's clown rearing setup tonight so when I figure out if I could use anything else I'll let you know. You could bring them by in the morning if you are still coming by to pick up the caps.

Thanks,
Rob

I LOVE EM! Definitely added some interest! My clams are lovin the bbs from this morning, and the air valves at the base work perfectly. I dubbed them my "HoboHatcheries" :)

what about if you add a reducer to a 3/8" or 1/4" hose connector?

Just checking to see how you made the tubes originally. I'm in the middle of culturing my own and looking for easier methods of keeping the particles suspended instead of just using coke bottles.

Justin, I don't think Ace has a tank right now or is on much and this is an old thread. Maybe send a pm, see if he responds to that. I think we might have one of the ones he made somewhere. You might reach out to Kristy also, she would know if we do.

I had bought those tubes. The tubes was purchased as an acrylic tube and the bottom cone was formed from a flat piece of acrylic heated in the over a metal cone of sorts... then bonded together and all pvc and gang valve was attached and heavily siliconed

If you don't mind, where did you get the acrylic tubes, online or from a local place? Also, did you use weldon or silicon to bond them together?
