see also my clone system : https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/119183-davethenewbie-dwc-cloner-fast-simple.html#post1453653

drill a 21mm hole and put in a 19mm grommet + plug on the top of the wall of the resovoir
drill a 16mm hole and put in a 13mm grommet + plug on the top of the wall of the resovoir
make both these holes near each other and as near the top as is reasonable.
