I just saw one at my LFS. Extends to like 3 feet. Kent Marine makes them. I think it was called sea squirt or something like that.

i took a "cajun injector" from the grocery store, pulled off the metal tip and superglued 1/4 inch semi-rigid polyethylene tubing. works like an absolute charm, and really any syringe can be done that way.

I had to do the same thing to mine. The hole was too small for mysis and what not, so I drilled the end a little bigger and now it's good to go.

Kent Marine Nautilus Sea Squirt...

I just saw one at my LFS. Extends to like 3 feet. Kent Marine makes them. I think it was called sea squirt or something like that.
They are really awesome! Generally I have ZERO interest in goofy little LFS products like this, but this one is really great.
I have one of them they are no good for feeding mysis or brine shrimp out of it hole is to small.
I have a couple of them, and on one of them the black 'end tip' was not glued on and I just pulled it off, the other was glued on and I sawed it off with a little hack saw (the black 'end tip' makes it possible to dose liquids, but who the hell spot feeds liquids?)

Anyways I am able to feed full size PE mysis, squid, Rod's Food, etc. without any issues. Its easily taken apart for cleaning which is a great feature. I've owned a glass one before, and I broke it... these things are nearly un-breakable :D

This is one goofy LFS product you'll see me recommend over and over... I just love it! I keep a rhizo on the bottom of my frag tank under the egg-crate, and I use this to feed it every other day... the tip fits right through the eggcrate!
