PVC pipe and elbows, a drill, a 1/8th inch drill bit, a barb of appropriate size. Assemble only the exterior section with PVC glue so it does not leak outside the tank. Use threaded PVC bits, or just fit the interior pieces together, so you can easily disassemble for cleaning. Start with only a handful of holes, evenly spaced, and try it out. Add more holes if necessary. Paint with Krylon Fusion if you want.

I would just purchase an Eheim installation kit.

If you want it longer, you can purchase extentions.

Couldn't have said it better...... When I was having problems with my 204 on my 29g, the next smallest one I had was a 404, which turned that poor 29g into a whirlpool.... Whipped this up in about 15 minutes (for about $10), and just gave it a day for the PVC cement to cure. If you use 3/4" PVC, it'll snap right into one of the 304/404 hose support clips.
