I'm assembling my first WC project so forgive my ignorance. But in reading all/most of the reviews on the main site I can't fiqure out how I'm going to build a resevoir.
I am buying the renouned Ehiem 1250 and plan to place it in a 32oz mason jar with air tight metal lid they come with.
I was planning on siliconing the pump in there and the silicon would act to absorb vibration in addition to holding the pump secure.
I will drill three holes in the lid, two for half inch barbs, one for pumps power cord.
Now my question is does this container need to be air tight? If so I'll silicon around the holes I drill.
Another question is have is does the return line going into the resevoir need to be under the fluid level?
Your input is aprreciated.
