it's hooked up, and it worked wonderfully! the response is immediate compared to the blue jug. Getting the water from my RO/DI basin (big rubbermaid container) into the glass jug is a bit of a pain, but i'm buying a funnel today.

it's nice being able to see exactly how much water is left in the jug on a whim.

it pumps at about 3 gallons per hour with the little air pump (aquaclear's smallest one)

that's with two airline couplers, one on the air input, and one on the water input.

the entire system worked down to:
$15 - air pump
$22 - glass jug
$01 - rubber stopper
$00 - aquarium silicone i already have
$04 - airline check valve
$00 - airline couplers i already had (usually 20 cents each)
$20 - digital timer

total:
$52, and some change
