Well....that might work if our tank wasn't 30" deep. LOL Little hard, even with a chair, considering it is on a stand. Plus, the niger is quite attracted to hands, a little too curious for our tastes.

The feeding stick is 16" long the tube in the picture seems shorter but it is hard to tell. I would call them or e-mail them and ask them the exact size and whether it extends possibly (can't tell from picture). If not you will have to make one like I did using the stick and the rigid plastic tube to make it longer as I did mine is 27" long and works in my 45 like a charm. I had the long plastic laying around it was for the center of a tube for a ug filter I used to have. I have learned to save bits and pieces never know when you can make something out of them.
