hi members,

 

i want to use petri dishes for making a water tower like tarheel.but i have one question....

What types of tubing or hose can i use for filling the tower?if i make a hole through the side the water leaking away.

i was thinking to use long injection needles i saw on aliexpress.

I want to do the same, so tell me if you get an update. I would use aquarium silicone. It is very waterproof. Are you going to use mesh on the top?

Airline vinyl tubing (used for pumps in aquariums) might work for adding water to the watertower.
