Hey, I guess you could get some of your trace minerals in your diet that way! Lesley

I used to use my mouth to start the siphon- now i just shake it up and down in the water a few times-works just as well-
I would say i quit doing that when i worked at the pet store and was cleaning the goldfish tanks- started the siphion and wasnt even thinking- next thing i know- i have a little floppy fish in my mouth- then i swallowed it

Doesn't anyone use a siphon-starter?
The one I have is useful in most circumstances, although I'm no stranger to a mouth full of poopie fish water.

Is it just me or is the RO/DI, carbon filtered and skimmed water in your "poopy tank water" likely to be about a hundred times purer than the tap water you bathe in and drink? Just a thought about siphoning with your mouth (I do this).

YEAH!! It reminds me of my snorkeling days before I got scuba certified. Try catching the bad end of syphoning out water from a freshwater tank w/ 3 LARGE dead fish in it. Dead for 7 days. THAT made me vomit quite a bit. MMMmmmmm..... chunky!! YUM!!!
