A bubbler is nothing more than an air pump, airstones and a res. To make one is the easiest thing ever. Decide where your going to grow and how many plants you want. After you know this then you can shop for a container you want to make your bubbler. The water level should be high enough for the hydroton pebbles to be soaked until the roots are grown at least an inch or two under the net pot. After your roots are long enough you don't have to really worry about water level but keeping it up is not bad either. Hope this helps.
