I'm also using two "small bubble" makers on a dual outlet pump, but haven't had a chance to get much tank use yet. They're the kind with the "fuzzy" looking textured surface. They did put off a nice strong mist of bubble fizz, which was spread evenly across a vertically hanging double sided board, so I think they'll do OK. It was strong enough that if they were too close to the surface, it would produce an airborne mist (eventually I'll mount them to the base). I looked at a standard tube with holes first, but chose these. I wonder if you could just drill up a tube for it. I thought about making a plexi rectangle with some type of standoffs to create a vented chamber in the bottom of the tank, and gluing my tubes through the tank's sides near the bottom, but figured it might be a hassle while filling the tank and waiting for the etchant to fill the chamber (or having the air try to lift it out). The bubblers seem like a good area for DIY. With economy heaters and pumps, they were almost as expensive as some of the important stuff. -George
