Drip acclimating idea!

So I grabbed a set of IV tubing and an IV bag of 1000cc NaCl from work (I'm an EMT). Cut a small hole in the top of the bag and drained out the fluid. Spiked the bag with the tubing and filled the bag with water from my tank. Placed the other end of the tubing in the bag with the fish in it from the LFS and adjusted the dial to drip about 1-2 drips a second. WORKED GREAT!!! I'll try and put a picture of it up with the next fish I get. So much easier than trying to knot up a piece of airline tubing.

 

I like a knotted length of air line myself, but your way seems way cooler.

nice man, make sure you post some pictures

 

I bag float.. and use a turkey baster to drip in tank water every few minutes. I like your way too, be even cooler with that beeping noise.

 

except if you get that 1 long beep aqua. beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. lol. get the paddles. clear

nice idea star.

 

I almost asked for the iv set up the other day when I had to take my wife to the hospital,wasnt sure if I should use a used iv thats had meds through it,so I left it.That's a cool idea though,someone should sell those for the sw hobby.

 

wanna grab one and send it my way......Ill send some bbq your way(im a cook)....lol

k on the idea

 

Nice guys! LOL. Thanks for the props. My next fish will be a six line wrasse and I'll put up a few pictures of the setup. As for using a used IV set........probably a bad idea.....LOL. ;D

 

Hmmmm..... I know i've got an extra IV kit around here somewhere. (Sad part is I'm not kidding) Awesome Idea!

 

I have tried tying knots in the airline and I have a MUCH better way. Not as cool as yours of course but something everyone else can try that can't get an IV bag. OK, you know those little screw anchors you use to put a screw into dry wall? Well, I just use one of the plastic anchors and push it into the end of the airline tubing. You can adjust the flow by how far you push it into the tubing. works great!
