Hi all I'm just going to do a step by step guide of how I made my 20L oxypot for 18 quid and got a free gash on the finger this is what you need
Things you need
20L black bucket with lid £3.50
400 L air pump with 4 stone kit from local aquarium shop £13
5inch net pot £1.50
3/8 inch pipe and gromet free from work
Here we go:
Step 1
Use net pot as a stencil and Mark the hole out in centre of the lid of the bucket, make sure you don't cut the hole to small you want a tight light proof fit
Step 2
Cut the hole in the lid and also drill 2 holes in the lid ,now put your net pot into the hole you have cut and you will end up with this
Step 3
Right you have got your air pump with 2 outlets and 2 airstones on each one
Put the airlines through the 2 small holes you have drilled in the lid And attach the airstones in the bucket
Step 4
Drill small hole in the bottom side of the bucket
Step 5
Place expanding conecter thingy in hole you have drilled
Make sure you tighten that up real good guys
step6
Cut a bit of 3/8 hose to a bit longer than the length of the bucket and cable tie it on to the fitting
Step 7
Fix clip to top of bucket to hold the hose and hey presto you got yaself a oxypot for £18
Hope this is helpful to some of you out there peace out ck
