Okay... Call me STUPID, but how do you work this thing?
Yes. I have been using it to siphon the gravel and actually add the water back in too. My problem is, how do you get the water started with out having to stick your mouth on it and give it a quick 'Suck".. ha, ha
This is really gross... but, I use the python on my fish tank and suck the water no problem and it actually never gets to my mouth.
Well, Yesterday I had a hell of a time getting the water to siphon out of my turtle/goldfish tank. I didn't want to stick my mouth on it to give a suck, because of everyone scaring me about getting Salmonella (thanks guys ).. well, needless to say I couldn't get the darn thing to suck water, so i had to stick my mouth on it..........
Yup! you guessed it... Sucked a little to hard and ended up with turtle water in my mouth!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! Yes. I totally freaked out and thought I was going to get terribly ill or grow a shell or something .
Well, I survived this time, but I know there has got to be a better way to start the siphon action. Help me please?!?!
