How to make a safe hoop??

Oh I've seen a vdeo on youtube where the guy just has it attached to the hood and it's constantly in the water.. I'm pretty sure the guy just got some rope in there.

How about one of those plastic or rubber wristbands (i.e., like those nike sports bands) or even use one of those bendable glowsticks that you would wear around your wrists.

What if the glowstick leaks? I was thinking those hair ties without the metal bar that holds it.

You could hold down the straw, but it's a bit hard.

You could always take the air out of the straw and have it full of water? (I'm not sure if it would float or sink then? o.O) or rope would do it too.

And, if you're not going for looks, I'm pretty sure you could cut up a old bottle into hoots and tape or blunt the corners so they aren't sharp!

I don't see why not if it's not going to spend all of it's time in water!

But yeah.

My tank has a lid with a special feeding hole, dont worry. Also the reason i wasnt sure is because i read some stuff about not putting common objects into water, but If that doesn't really matter then a bottle would be a great idea, as long as it isn't sharp!

No, i will of course be holding it so really it makes no difference whether or not it floats..
