Too cheap to buy clear tubing from USplastic?

Buy a fish bubbler, cut it down to size. Use a ring saw and cup out some 1/4" plexi into a top and bottom, use waterproof epoxy to add your barbs, add a fill hole to the top, and you have an instant res/airtrap!

Alright! Doing It On the Cheap is always better! I guess I'd get more use out of this if anyone ever saw my case: it's stuck as far back under my desk as I can get it

But you're making me wonder if I shouldn't put in on my desk and mod the Eff out of it

Wow, I was just thinking of replacing my rubbermaid with a better res, good timing. This looks very tempting, especially since USPlastic forces you to buy in 10ft increments.
