Hella good job looks like you based it off the microbulator design..
NO not realy what I do for work kinda helped it just came to me I had the stuff knew what it should do and in 2 hours built it.
This is very different than the microbulator which incorporates an air lift in addition to a diffuser at the bottom.
One should be able to build an equivalent to Maina's brewer using PVC for about $50 to $100 following the instructions on my webpage;
www.microbeorganics.com
The variability in price mainly depends on the pump used.
BTW some people, looking at my avatar photo have surmised that my water circulation is created using a water pump; e.g. fountain pump. This is not the case. I use only air. According to hydraulic engineers an air lift doubles the dissolved oxygen capacity of an air pump.

I'm unfamiliar with the term "air lift", is it a device, or a flow pattern in the barrel?
I bubble my Tea's in 5g buckets with a 320 liter/hr pump and 4 airstones in each bucket.
Happy with my Tea's, but always looking to improve. Could I have dead spots in my brewers and not know it?
Much Respect,

I was one of those people. thanks so much for that link, bookmarked. until i get my microscope i wont be able to see whats really going on, but im not totally devastated as the pond pump im using is a low pressure pump. basically from what i read on your site pond pumps arent good for fungal hyphae. thanks!!!
I'm an advocate of using what you have. I've seen fine ACT (through scope) made with a venturi and water pump, including fungal hyphae, albeit broken up.
An air lift normally refers to a method of pumping liquid utilizing air. It can be engineered in various configurations. I created mine with an internal diffuser and a push up a column to maximize dissolved O2.
