prepaid visa gift cards. Thats something you cannot make cheaper than they do, because of how simple it is. bghydro.com has a waterfarm basic that comes without the stones/hydroton. like 30$ usd
 
oh ok awesome thanks, here in lake havasu city az they want $60 for the waterfarm -.- ima go get one of those cards, thanks for saving me the trouble fellas
 
Build one out of 1/2 inch cpvc. 6 *90's, 2 tees and a half a stick of pipe.

Starting from the bottom, straight piece with a small hole in it for air line. 90 up to top of bucket. 90 over to the bucket then tee into a square then tee into an overpour back into the res. Without the overpour, it will build up pressure and not work well. Drill holes into the pipe where you want it to drip.

Can build a drip ring for about 8 bucks even less if you buy the stuff in bulk.
 
You dont have to get them from a hydro shop, marshal grains has them, lowes, home depot etc. They are sold for outdoor fountains it is all I ever use. Very chep and work and most carry a 1 year manufac warranty so keep your receipt they do go bad you get a new one.
