You could make a small fortune - selling them to us here in the UK.

No-one over here stocks them... sad.gif

Hi there, i had my first attempt at making a Python system yesterday with little SUKsess lol.

I managed to get a test bottle of water to drain using the contraption i made (for under £10) but when attempting to use it to empty the fish tank nothing much happened.

I know what my problem is and am determined to "make" one. So off to the shops on the way home to see if anyone sells what is in my head. If not im making a piece that im sure will give me results.

Ill keep you posted.
