I put my hand around the end and suck through my hand so I know when the water's getting too close. ;)

Fish water is pretty fun, but, try some nice, rich TURTLE water for a richer, heartier flavor and a nice sulfer finish. Python is worth every cent. I did some math, and even if you make minimum wage, it pays for itself in your time in only a few months.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

That does taste good. I also enjoy the flavor of salt water. Nice and salty, and so many minerals! It's healthy and flavorful!

Sump/refugium saltwater...like right next to the skimmer. It has good texture.
