There's a reef central link that should have tons of pics. I started one and never finished... basically a vertical 4"-6" PVC with a base and a cap. 2 holes on one side for the water to criculate with the pump and a hole at the bottom for the clean water to exist.. An air cap at the top.. as I remember

MIne is like this one

4" pvc works great. I will try to go thru everything for you, This will be the newer design

4"pvc pipe 2lf
flat style cap (glue on)
screw on cap and adapter
50lf pre coiled airhose
fountain pump
1/4" barbed hose to 1/2 mpt adapter
1/2" npt extension
1/2" thread union
6lf 1/4 pex tubing
1/4 pex valve
6lf 3/8 pex tubing
1/4 pex to 1/2 mpt adapter
3/8 pex to 1/2 mpt adapter
I used 1/2 because I already had the taps

drill center of cap and tap
install 1/4 adapter
drill thru side of screw cap adapter and pipe after it is glued and tap
install extension with glue or silicon
install 3/8 adapter on extension
install 1/2" union and barbed fitting to inside of extension

Follow instructions for interior part.
