i took a 1 gal tuperware container and drilled a smal hole about 1.5" from the bottom. i used a wooden airstone and the

(?) it comes with as a mini bulkhead. i just cut the airstone about a half inch from the threaded end and screwed the

in through the drilled hole. i siliconed it around the edges to make sure it didn't leak and attatched some airline tubing with a valve.

That's almost exactly was I was thinking, does the bottom ever get gross, or scummy.

what do you mean gross? there is always a bit of precip on the bottom, but i just rinse it out real good when i refill it.

Thats all i meant, was it hard to clean out, I've always just added from a pitcher and not a drip...so I was sure what kind mess the drip made. Now I know. Thanks

I think Broomer has one that is a small gas can like container and a drip coming out of that .... it is fairly good sized (a couple of gallons I think). I subscribed to the thread will see if I can find the picture

if you or anyone you know is a reptile person, you can use the 'little dripper'...it's a container with a spiggot used to drip water into reptile/amphibian enclosures to add humidity....just pick one up at the pet store....
