It's worth adding an extra grommeted hole in the top for ph'ing between change-outs (make sure it's big enough so u don't drop ur wand in!)
I didn't bother with the fancy airstone holder either, but put 2 x 2" stones in the bottom of each tub - great results.

They really are that easy to make & are far more reliable that drip, nft & aero rigs as they have no internal pumps & nozzles to clog up.

Make sure the airline is opaque btw

respect for a good no-nonsense guide m8.
Why does the airline need to be opaque? Wal-mart sells really cheap clear air line.
