And easy way is to cut a sponge so you can shove it up a plastic tube that is wide enough for an airstone to go through. Then you simply push the airstone down the tube until it hits the sponge, and connect it to tubing and a pump, and turn it on. The bugles will rise up the tube, causing water to be pushed up the tube, so water is getting sucked through the sponge too.
