- A sump
- Left over Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pieces

Thanks for this tip, quite useful.
Good tip Mark, it seems like the sump area becomes the area we always neglect to keep clean.
This is seriously, a really good idea. ‘Why didn’t I think of that’!
Good one. I can see my self doing this easy project this weekend.
Thank you for the great idea
Great tip
Ingenius!
Very cool
Brilliant!
Looks like it could work as a probe holder too
This is a great tip and since I’ll be messing with the plumbing this weekend anyways….. Geterdone
That’s a great tip
That’s a grear idea. I’ve been using a clothes line clip to hold mine. I’ll get on this project in a minute.
Hi Mark
Always interested to here what you have to say, all is going well…!
Have a great weekend, from Barry in London.
Definitely agree, great tip!!
For a second there, thought you were going to suggest putting my pens it it….
That’s awesome. Much cheaper than buying one.
what kind of clownfish are those hovering in the tank over your right shoulder…they look awesome? thanks
That’s a good idea
That’s actually a great tip! Pity i’m in the middle of stripping and selling my tank haha.
Brilliant. Thanks!
Love this idea.. Great Friday quick tip.
I just figured out what to put on the side of the crib for feeding time
Too bad my sump has a rim on it. :/ (20g High)
Lucas…just cut a bigger slit down the length of the PVC. Also, if you get schedule 20 PVC, it is thinner so you could flex it to fit around the tank lip.
jrock…that’s just wrong!
Mark…they are blacker ice clownfish from ProAquatix
Why didn’t I think of that??!! All my tubing is held to the sump using pegs. I think it’s time to do DIY that dusty tube…
Excellent tip. Already constructed and installed. Works like a charm!
I just realized out what to put on the part of the bed for providing time.
