took me forever to find a clear tube, finally thought of sumthing i can use. they sell clear plastic covers for flourecent lights, its jsut a thin plastic sleve, but it works for this.

Hi

This looks like a great idea. I'm gonna have a go at building one.

Thanks for making the video.

Thats a pretty good idea you came up with there. But i'll just keep gravel vac'ing cuz i'll get too lazy to do water changes and you just shouldnt skip those. :)
