It's an empty box, any box that light doesn't go through. I used a piece of fence post from Home Depot. You can use the box your Grand Mother keeps hair pins in or her teeth. I used the fence post because they also sell end caps. I used one on the bottom and I cut one out for the top. It holds the stocking on the top. You can cut out a piece of your wife's stocking. Just remember to cover that hole with duct tape so she doesn't notice.
The tube is a tube. Mine is acrylic, you can use any tube. They sell 3/8" pvc tubes in Home Depot for connecting up bathroom sinks. Or do like I do, go to an acrylic store and buy some tubing, it comes in 6' length's. I buy it in bulk because I make all sorts of things out of it. The funnel on top is a funnel. There is an auto feeder above the funnel that supplies brine shrimp eggs to the funnel. I had to glue a baffle in it because it dispensed to many eggs at once. You can figure it out.
There is also a small water supply going into the funnel to help the eggs descend down the tube. I used an airline to put that water in the funnel. I have an algae trough above my tank so I get water from there. You can use a tiny powerhead.
The video above shows all the parts.
I use a lot of those acrylic tubes.
