I have a deep reef aquarium and it’s impossible to reach to bottom level to feed corals with syringe. I have searched the internet and come up with a livestock syringe and extension but it cost $92.

Bulb type feeders such as this do not have the precision feeding that results in a lot of waste.

Anyone have any ideas ?
 
You can attach airline to the end of most syringes. You can also use that to connect some rigid tubing to the end if you need better control...
 
the julius thing has an extra rigid tube to extend the reach to 36" (2 x 18"). plus the flex tubing connecting the plunger makes it comfortable to control.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.
