Depends on the kit size.

Go to an aquarium suppliers (pet shop etc.). get a fish tank external pump and make a bubbler up. I use watering system ridge risers as they are fairly solid and make a ring with 4 1mm holes in thetop surface. Using various barbed joiners, run out to the side of the tank and up to the top. Make sure you mount/hang the air pump higher than the tank so it won't syphon the tanks contents through the pump.
