You can buy a premanufactured one for 30, 40 bucks, seems like a good price. I guess you already know. But the basic idea is water flows from the bottom, from a tube from the top going all the way through to the bottom, with a sponge around and the media sits on top of it. use a small power head and the media will move like a fluid bed filter. A hole in the top connected to a exhaust hose.
