How to make a bubbler thing??

You know what I mean? I've seen some of you have little bubbly water things and I'd like to make or buy one....no clue where to start or look. Thanks :)

nevermind I remembered the little 'search' button up top and found posts. :) I'm off to go see if I can find what's needed and hopefully make one tonight! :)

Simplest version - requires a deepish waterdish.

$5 aquarium pump. $2 of aquarium hose, $1 airstone.

Cut the hose to length, stick the airstone in one end and plug the pump into the other, drop the stone in the water dish ( We put it in the "fresh" water ) and plug 'er in.

Depending on the size of your tank, you might want a larger or a double pump.

I have a bubbler pool and I used a 7", 8", 2.5" deep dish along with a 10G pump, 3" airstone, and 9' worth of hosing. I put this setup in my 55G and it helps keep the humidity stable around the low 80s.
