I'm planning to add a couple of these to my latest build and there are at least two ways I can think of to implement. Anybody else use them? Any cool suggestion on how to best implement?

I've been using one in my fug that runs from the lower right corner to the upper left. It works fine but I wouldn't want to see it in the DT. Plans B and C are:
- another piece of the black ABS running vertical with a couple of airstones at the bottom and the appropriate number of holes at the top
- a flat piece of PVC horizontal across the bottom, running up the back about 10" with one of the longer air stones across the bottom.
I'm not against seeing a wall of bubbles against the back wall but the real reason for this is that it is a low energy way to circulate water in the even the main pump goes down for whatever reason. Of course the extra O2 in the water doesn't hurt either.
