Extra long pipette feeder

[nasdds]

Does anyone have any recommendations for an extra long pipette feeder for target feeding. My tank is 28” tall. Longest I found without a cheap extender piece was 21”. Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.

Have you tried Julian’s thing?

Looks cool but I was hoping for more of a pipette kind of thing. I’ll do more research on this though. Thank you.

Pipettes are small, at that size they become basters or Julians Thing which is more controllable.

Is this the one you looked at? It is kind of a pipette as you pull in food or whatever and squeeze it out exactly where you want it.

I personally use a Julians Thing and before that i was using a DIY version. I got Julians Thing because i got a gift card from my previous employer to BRS and did a little splurging. Both work great but the syringe on Julians Thing is smoother.

Yea this is what I saw. Just read the reviews and it said it’s a pain to assemble. Maybe I’ll try it though. Thank you again.

Do those pipette bulb things actually work? My LFS has them in stock, and one of the (reasonable) employees there said they aren't very good.

You mean the Julian’s thing or a pipette. I use a shorter one for my smaller tank and it works fine. Never used a super long one so can’t say how it works.

Super long pipettes with relatively large bulbs at the end.

I had one that was a long acrylic tube - probably 36 inches or more - and I can't find where I got it from but it wasn't amazon

Kid broke it so I'm looking for another one - but they exist!
