DIY Aquarium Dripper

DIY Dripper for my aquariums that I made. Good idea for changing pH or salinity in your tank! Also this is IDEAL for adding fertilizer to planted tanks! Also if a medication you are adding to your tank doesn't need to shock something out of the tank (like Ich medication, fungucide, etc.) then you might find it better to add it through the salinity dripper (but at a fast drip rate) so your fish don't get bothered and your scaleless fish don't get shocked.

What is wrong with your plec and eel, so that they need such a slow drip, they are not that fragile........Do what you want I guess......

LoL I do what I need... Adding ocean salt can change pH (raise it) significantly and cause your fish to drop dead. Aside from that scaleless freshwater fish cannot tolerate brackishwater (known fact; look it up), fish never get salt water DUMPED on them, they move down stream with gradually increased salinity. Sudden change can be stressful. That's a saltwater CONCENTRATE not just 1.024 water. Also it can be used to add anything to the tank. IE: melafix can actually burn fins w/ direct contact!

Why are you running salt into your planted tank and why soooooo slow? You have lovely tanks but are far too paranoid.......

[SpitRhyma]

LoL -- slow because the pleco will get stressed if I dump it in and so will other scaleless fish like the eels.

The salt is for preventing bacterial, fungal, and other infections (can fish get yeast infections?)

Also yes the salt is for the Archer and mostly the Dragon/Violet Goby who's actually a "grey" goby when he's in fresh water :(

Where did you get that valve?

is this a joke ? look my salt tank runs at 10 :23 thats 23 grams of salt for every litre of water ,,, you could dump that in with out a noticable difference in any reading you would take ,,, try it do a calcium test or ph or carbon hardness test before and after and you shouldnt drip salt water on your filter it KILLS fresh water bacteria
