cant believe i havn't thought of this b4.
when i refill my tank after water changes i usually just drape my hose over the top of the tank and hold it there with the lids, but it's also fallen out of the tank and flooded the floor b4 too and usually disturbs my substrate.
so i made a cpl of these out of spare goose necks i had laying around.
no more worrying the hose is going to fall out again.
made one for tank refills and one for filling the aging barrel...

Great idea fish-r. Makes life easier doesn't it.
I've taken mine a step further and have a stop tap on the end as well, so I can stop the flow of water without having to go back to the main tap.
But I like your idea of having the outlet pointing up. Mine always stirs up the gravel.Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
