| Has anyone used one of those hang on the side of tank fry savers - as an egg tumbler? The one I'm talking about uses an air uplift tube to draw water into the small compartment and then runs back into the main tank. It resembles a hang-on filter only it is entirely clear. It was designed to put guppy fry etc in so they wouldn't get eaten. It has a relatively low waterflow. I am wondering if it might work as an egg tumbler? How much agitation does an egg tumbler need?
Commence laughing about my question now.. | |

| yeah, they work well, but you need more water movement in there so add a gentle airstone in there as well | |
