Same concept, I had one on my aquarium years ago. It worked really well.

I also built a mini RBC from a pleated canister filter. I believe it was 10" diameter x 20" long. I made some hubs, mounted it on a 1/2" shaft with nylon bearings and rotated it with a synchronous gear motor. It worked really well, just need to keep them out of any light. Surface area was really high. I can't remember what it was.
