I do this by pushing the strip through the soft middle bit and wrapping it into a circle. This means the cucumber goes straight to the bottom and stays there. If you ask at your local fish place they should have something like this that you can use. I probably havn't explained this very well. Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

And re: the rock idea - if you rubberband the two together you can drop it in without getting wet, although, let's face it, fishkeepers always have wet arms! -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
