    I'm diggin the uniseal lately. Very cool

    bulk head fittings are cheaper

    gromets and push fittings are the cheapest

    they all have some leak to some degree. Put a pond liner under the grow

    Awesome, thanks everyone! Right now, to connect my 2 buckets, Im using 2 ball valves, one on each bucket, via Rumpleforeskin's Bubble Bucket. 1/2" Male Adapter with some O-rings, it leaks more than I'd like.

    With the grommets or uniseal, I just make the hole, put the grommet/uniseal, and the tube fits in tight enough not to leak?

    I was also thinking, square buckets would just make the seal easier huh? Since it isn't on a curved surface?
