Orbit would be a wonderful option. IF they made it in anything bigger than 3/4"!!! They have black and blue pieces to 1" but they're even more pricey and still way too small.The test plugs I got are made by oatey they have them at lowes or home depot and works great....also I refuse to use hdx cheap ass garbage containers i get mine at lowes and they are x2 the thickness and a much better container..
That's a good idea for the b.h and the pump outside the res...which I'm still considering doing.
I'm gna pass on the venturi for the control bucket with just waterfall return is more than enough and running alot of d.o in ur control bucket is a bitch for ph and keeping it stable which is why I do waterfall for it only and call it a day however that is a great idea air walk never even thought of it...also I have a add back kit for both my control buckets which i built for $15 ea vs 125 and it's exactly the samething....
Also you should look into orbit pvc fittings as you dont have to glue nothing or thread and they are removable with a tool and are leak proof and great fittings just cost more of course but its stupid easy and they spin inside so you can thread them for like the b.h and the pump...
I am kinda leaning towards waterfall but like I said I have everything already for running air I have hundreds of feet of tubing so idc if I have to replace a leader line that's like 16in every other grow isnt a big deal...and havent had a issue with airstones knock on wood.....and I clean them in vinegar when they get build up also the works toilet bowl cleaner works too I've heard...and from the airpumps I would be using are very quiet unlike some alita and linear air pumps that are the loudest thing in the whole room....
If I do go w.f how many gph pump should I get there will be about 12-14" of head pressure but would suck from the control and push into the 2 grow modules as I will run them with my pvc pipe so it can stay nice and clean like I want...
Thanks for your time tho
