I like it. (Edited your blog's category to DIY Projects)

I'd suggest going so far as to add a little tubing down the center of the container to force water down and back up through the media, like the Phosban reactor does.

I forgot add that Marc, thanks yeah attach a 3/4 feamle adapter slip/thread to underside of the hose barb,cut a short piece of PVC measuring to just above the bottom of the container, and attach it to the female adapter slip end, this will alow flow to go through the container. Thanks again Marc for reminding me.

How loud is it? I mean the water trickling out. Does it sound like a fountain?

Is there any reason it couldnt be completely submerged? That would get rid of all noise.

Its quiet all, the water slides down the sides, so no fountain sound.

Hmm brainstorming about the skinniest possible container I can find...if pringle cans were just water proof

Jessy I scoped some speghetti container at walmart that would be ideal. Also Peanut butter jars work really good too.

Tennis ball canisters.

yep they work too, but have to be plastic. I prefer food grade plastics because of no leaching.
