Hey ya'll
This post is a bit out of the norm but I liked it so much I thought others should know about it. We all have used turkey basters for our tanks but Kent Marine has gone above and beyond with this one. its called a sea squirt .It is a feeding and dosing tool. It is really long but then extends up to 35 inches and has measure marks on it for dosing. There is large bulb on top for drawing up your liquids.
On the tip there is a little feeing prong that can be retracted that you stick food bits on for spot feeding things like corals and shrimp. Maybe this is an old product but I had never seen it before and find it to be PERFECT for our reefs. The best is the price is cheap but the product is not. Anyhow I just wanted to share. here are its features
Contracted length of 21" (53cm), extends to 35" (89cm) for deep tanks or hard-to-reach areas
Graduated tube is marked at each milliliter to enable ease of measuring the exact amount of food or supplement being added to the aquarium
Holds up to 10-ml of liquid
May be used to deliver foods in suspension or liquid supplements, as desired
Extendable prong at tip may be used to deliver meaty-foods to anemones, eels, and other organisms that must generally be fed by hand
Made of durable polycarbonate and silicone
May be completely disassembled for cleaning
Thanks

very interesting...considering I have a client with a deep 240 gal display that I have a hard time reaching the bottom of....I've also looked for "good" tools to grap and move items deep down without much luck. the only ones I've used aren't very effective.I may need to check into purchasing one of those sea squirts....

I just saw one at the LFS and thought it was very cool. Picked one up off the Bay of E for < $20 shipped. It was listed as a "seasquirt" not "sea squirt".

hahaha hmm... i have to agree with funkyman.. a very usefull weapon indeed....
ive seen them at my LFS before. they looked great, but i didnt get one since i have no corals deep down that i need to spot feed. no heavy filter feeder. oh yeah, and my tank is only 16 inches high .lol..... but it did look like a great product! good to know the quality if i ever get something that owuld need it. thanks!

now as soon as the tip of it touches the water, every shrimp in the tank comes flying at it- I cant keep 'em away (maybe I will have to use it as a weapon soon)
