you don't need to. Just take a big cup of water like a really big one and put some tubing into it and tape it to the edge of the cup. Then with the tubing just tie it once start with it really tight then slowly loosen the knot out. To manage how fast the drip goes. Its usually 2-3 drips per sec is good. Look something like this. THis is me acclimating my new fish that came in.

people say 1 hour is enough i just generally use 2 hours and for inverts i use 3 hours.

This reminds me of the story my wife told me ... as a kid and for fifteen years, she would go listen to this guy at the RenFest play music. She said he was always so nice to herall through the years she grew up. So the last time we went she said, " I have to buy his CD this year."

So just think of it as an investment... although I guess if you get one discus sale in 15 years, that might not be so appealing :P

I'm sure my wife would have cleaned out his inventory if his product was more diverse.

I have another one... my mom used to be a waitress at a restaurant and she was always so nice to all the customers. She had served this one guy for years and through the years he made a fortune in the export/import business (she had known him since he was in his twenties). Well guess who he hired for his customer service department and at a much better salary and compensation package?

Although she got laid-off by the guy when the recession hit... so ... uhmm what was my point? You could sell one discus in fifteen years or get hired and laid-off? LOL :P

Please tell me what to do thanks.

It its too complicated, Then ONLY GET from ONE source! Keep It Simple.. OR pay 12 dollars and get a 10 gallon tank from Walmart!
