1/2 inch piping from home depot- sorry, i cut and drilled it before i took pics. 1x 4" and 1x 8" half inch tubing. 1x 1/2" "T" fitting, and 2x endcaps.
Drill 11/62" (IIRC) holes for "360 Sprayers" from EZ Cloner, screw em in all the way. i used a drill press at homey's house.

maxi Jet 400 powerhead- the workhorse of the aquarium universe- too broke for a Tunze =P
![IMG_0299.jpg](/data/attachments/139/139217-40a9b06245ac433743f6796aa32062a5.jpg)
Teflon taped the output to make it fit more snugly into the 1/2 inch pvc- couldnt find any smaller pvc pipe to fit it
![IMG_0300.jpg](/data/attachments/139/139218-51c0fd4f7d308bf4a2a90585f9b6c966.jpg)
Silicone them shits- woulda used something more permanent (pvc glue) but i wasn't sure if it would work yet.

Sprayed it over for light blockage. this stuff is specially designed to bond to plastic, we'll see how it ends up

Add the ez cloner plugs, and plug this bitch in!

I could have bought sprayers from home depot, and pipe insulation instead of pucks as well, but the ez clone parts are cheap from my local ez clone retailer (prolly cost) so i nabbed em there.
This effectively wets the bottoms of every puck with a good spray. It's started it's testing already, but i don't post pics of that stuff. once i get something more "family oriented" to root, i will add pics of that here too.
