I do like the supersaturated method but was warned against it for some reason when I posed a similar question, I will need to dig up the thread that is out there someplace.

A plastic auger wouldn't be that hard to manufacture, what size do you want?

I think we've discussed this before and I remember my concern being related to whether the levels of elements would be affected in the saturated salt water. I did monitor the measurable levels in the aquarium which had this system and for the most part they remained stable. The tank didn't have any dosing or supplemental systems so the levels weren't always perfect but did remain within reasonable tolerances. Basically I didn't notice any difference in stability before and after the system was installed.

I saw this one yesterday. Don't know how good it is but might be worth a look. http://www.genesisreefsystems.com/categories.php?cat=7
