Jeff
One of my "Simple" drains is just the plug cross threaded with a rubbermade (large shoe box size) container underneath the trough.
The other is the same way, except I drilled 3 small holes in it with another rubbermade container underneath.

I did use a 3" layer of lava rocks for the drainage.

Both need to be emptied about every 3 days, not so bad with all of the spraying I do!
Good Luck Brother!

OH and your dirt should smell fresh like a field after a good rain...not nasty as you say.
I love the way my enclosures smell.
Mike
