Had a productive day at the dollar store; found a 2L hermetically sealed canning jar that should work nicely as my gravity fed FW resevoir (we'll see how long 2L lasts). Jar was $4.00 and the 1/4" glass hole saw was $20 hahaha. Oh well, never a bad excuse to buy tools!
Here's the jar
With two 1/4" holes drilled to supply the tank
Now it's just a matter of measuring and installing the hoses (will simply use silicone as a bulkhead in the jar).
