Most better LFS carry bulkheads in various sizes. There is a link to a bulkhead tips sticky I did in this thread....
Never ever restrict an overflow with a ball valve, all the way open when in operation and all the way closed for maintenance, no throttling. If...
The overflow is gravity and the return is pressurized so flows much more water than a gravity overflow thus the two different sizes.
Check out the Spectrapure LLC-UPLC-II. It takes about an inch of space and maintains the level within 1/10 of an inch to 4" if thats what you want....
With a TDS of 500 you are similar to us in Phoenix, get the MaxCap for sure. Yes they will deliver similar water quality but at 500 TDS the MaxCap...
The MaxCap uses an individually hand tested and guaranteed in writing RO membrane guaranteed to be better than 98+% rejection rate. The CSP-DI uses a...

Macroalgae is good but will not export everything. You are best to never use tap water to begin with but if you have and change to RO/DI at a later...
