No, I should have thrown up a smiley or something. I love the thread, it's a great Idea, and each time I see it it reminds me that I should make one of these. Keep um coming.

Looks like a good basis for a DIY CO2 diffusor... Whack another PVC sleeve and barbed fitting on the other end, somewhere to hook your CO2 tubing to, fill with bio-balls (optoional) and plumb in-line with your canister outlet. Sweeeeeeeet!

Nice work midnight!

out of the two hose, which one gives you a higher flow rate

Good Idea's

now figure out a way to make the tube flexible so i can get into the hard to reach spots and ill give you a cool point.

I made one for a buddy just last night out of a garden hose, a 16 once water bottle, and some eletrical tape.. also added a pipe screen to keep gravel from passing through. You should see this thing, ugly as sin but man it moves water fast and flexes due to the thin walls of the bottle. Man the crap one comes up with when your drinking with friends, it took 5mins. from the time the bulb went off and competion of the build. best part is that it wass free! let me know I'll add a pic of this beast!
