    I'm getting ready to build a fluid bed for powder paint. Is this a good way?

    Looking for a better size, design, or ideas ?



    What size aquarium air pump is the best bang for the buck? What other filter materials work best?

    Bump for those asking... It's been working great.

    You can buy 3" fluid bed cups ready to go from this guy for cheap.

    I mounted my pump to the side of the cup and the added vibration did the trick
