I think he was just saying that more as an overall long-term blanket statement.
How would YOU set this (kinda) RDWC up?

This is my chiller it says 100 to 800l and a flow rate of 1000ltr/h to 2500ltr/h..
I'm looking at 65 ltr totes either 4 or 6 plus the control which will be the same size so i guess the chiller will be fine for now as none of the totes will be full... i'm guessing prob 2/3 full?

I'm sure it is titanmium but not 100%.. it has done maybe 6 grows now without any issues with it like reduce flow...
Might try the wort chiller though and see how that works.. i'm guessing stainless steel for this yes?

yep, stainless for the wort chiller. if i remember correctly, i had the chiller set at 62F to keep my control res at 68F.

So u cut just the black piece? The white piece still functions as seal? This is cool. I would have never thought of that. Are there different sizes? One in pic is 1 1/2” I think. Thanks for posting thisI went about bought most of my fittings yesterday. They didnt have enough of the adapters I used for my DIY bulkheads, so I had to go to a different store today.
Got all the holes drilled and all of the fittings put into the boxes. I was pretty generous with the aquarium sealant so letting them cure for a while because that shit stinks! I used around 3/4 of a 10oz caulking tube of the stuff.
I used these ABS trap adapters as bulkheads. At the big chain stores theyre pretty damn cheap... cheaper than uniseals from what ive seen. This picture is about the most you can screw the nut on because it has a built in crush washer thing to help it seal on the end of the fitting, so I cut all the threaded parts in half with my miter saw. It only took me like 10-15 mins to cut all 26. This allowed them to tighten all the way down to the flat edge meaning they would get tight on the box. I cut my holes slightly smaller and they worked out perfect. I gave both sides a good bit of silicone then had to force the threads through the hole and twist. They actually threaded into the boxes like this. From there I just tightened the nut on to the inside and smoothed out any oozing silicone.
How big is your control bucket and what size return lines do you have?
Mine is a 55 gallon HDX tote with 2 2" returns.

yep.
theres a little bit more on that in my veg build
https://www.rollitup.org/t/fragiles-flowers-rnd-2-new-veg-room-rdwc-from-first-clones.980253/
they come in 1.5" and 2". There are a few variations of the 1.5"
On the totes I used the 1.5" with male connections on the outside rows and they go right into 2x2x1.5" Ts

Nah its made it 4 months without leaking at all so im not worried about it at this point. I put silicone around everything when I put it together to act as a gasket.
