- Cut the bottom off of the soda bottle.
- With the 3/16" drill, drill 4 holes, equally spaced around the bottle, 1" down (if the bottle is inverted) for the hanging strings.
- Drill a 3/16" hole in the center of the bottle cap.
- Insert the 2'' piece of 3/16" rigid tubing into the cap, so that it will be sticking into the bottle about 1". Silicone the rigid tubing in place.
- Cut 2 equal length pieces of string (about 12" should be about right).
- Tie one end of each piece of string through one hole and tie the other end to an "S" hook.
- Insert one end of the 3/16" hose over the rigid tubing in the bottle cap and screw the cap on the bottle.
- Insert the other end of the tubing over the air pump fitting.
- Loop the strings over your horizontal hatchery hanger and insert the "S" hooks through a hole in the bottle on the other side, making sure that the air pump is above it.
- Fill with saltwater to the waterline (see graphic, above).
