does anyone have a good way to change water in nursery tank with out sucking up babies with the trash???

I made a small brush to clean the bottom of my bb fry tank. I found the idea on another fry list.

I found a "tung" brush at walmart - it looks like a round toothbrush w/ soft bristles. What helps is that the center has a hole - I snapped off the handle and inserted a small piece of ridig airline tubing into the hole - it fit perfectly - then just attach a length of regular airline tubing to that

presto - now I can scrub the tank while suctioning out debris without sucking up fry.

I know, a picture would be better, I will try to post one later

I tried it b/c I am a cheapskate but there are fry brushes on the market. I believe seahorsesource.com has one.

i picked up a similar brush at waly world today. worked fairly well, but i think with a little practice it will do a great job. thanks for the input.
