My drian tube has a small exit hole amd my fill has The large hole…idk why that is?
what about the air pump? The water fed by the water pump needs to be oxygenated by an air pump in order to prevent algae and molding. It also keeps things circulating. Great job on everything else though
Who cares how he pronounces it? I’ve heard it both ways.

2 things.
1: i liked this video a lot. it reminded me to not overthink building a new setup. very straight forward.
2: after he got done drilling the second hole in the black tray, when the drill would not come out and he just set it down like, eh, fuggit. @ 5:53

Get a friend to hold/manipulate the camera so you can use both hands in your next video!! This was painful to watch……….

I picked up the drain kit from a hydro store. You can also find them on ebay.
