Hi!
So I really want an undercurrent setup, but there is no way I could spend a couple grand for just some buckets and pipe. Tonight I found where to buy the 13 gallon poly urethane under current buckets. they're only $15 bucks too! but just white and not blue. The site also has the lids... You can compare pictures with jacks 13 gallon thread. Pvc piping is also cheap and you can even buy the uni seals and other random bits directly from the undercurrent website. http://cch2o.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=52_56
and instead of air stones that clog up use micro pore diffusers http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Water-Innovations-SINGLE-DIFFUSER/dp/B0032K0GPO
As for the air pumps and water pump I would want to upgrade to something better since I might as well. Any recommendations?
Anyways let me know what you guys think!
I'm surprised no one else has made copy's yet. It seems so simple. I've only seen a couple threads where people did essentially the same thing but with smaller buckets. But with the link above you can get the same 13 gallon buckets and make an exact undercurrent replica for a ton less so I figure I might as well try!
I've been super busy and don't have much room, but I want to start my setup as soon as possible and when I do I'll post up all my pictures.
