went to the DIY night last night, awesome night learnt alot,
decided to make my own auto water siphon, very easy very quick to make just thought id throw some photos up of the finished product so people can see,
in the second photo you can see the auto siphon complete and everything glued up besides the second elbow which you can then angle the tube which goes into the tank to customize how much water you want removed.
in the first photo ive attached a garden hose plug to both ends so i can attach my gravel vacumn when siphoning the tank, works a treat!
cheers
Corey

PVC glue found next to the PVC products in buntings there's green or blue doesn't matter which one, it's about $8 a tub it comes with a brush, just brush it onto the piping an then push the pieces together, the glue does the rest

There would definately be a market for these. Surprised that I haven't seen them for sale at a LFS. I'm DIY "challenged", so I'd buy one for sure! Anyone wanna make me one?
