    Algae siphon brush thingy

    This is not really neptune related but....

    I have a cyno issue right now, I'm trying to remove it from the rocks and a siphon does not really get most of it, need to brush and siphon at the same time. So I used my VERY crude CAD skills and made a simple brush that attaches to a 1/2 inch vinyl tube. I glued in some bristles from a cheap brush and there you go. So far it seems to work pretty well.

    Please let me know if anyone finds this useful, or if there is a simpler way to do this.

    PLEASE fell free to improve my crude design and upload to thingiverse

    I think I might steal that idea. Though I think I'll take the easy route and glue the top of a toothbrush to a slip to barbed adaptor since I don't own a 3d printer.
