You get proper bulkheads and bigger hose. Do you have a hydro shop by you? They’ll have what you need. 1 1/4” no smaller.
Interesting story the guy at my local hydro shop is who built this for me . I moved out of state unexpectedly for work but I have to go visit family here in the next week so I will have to go talk to him.

Yikes. Case of I don’t know I just work here. Lol. Good luck.
Nope he's the owner.
I just wanted to thank everyone here for your help . It's much appreciated. Say for instance I basically start this whole system over keeping reservoir and 5 gallon buckets and air pumps . My air pump controls up to 10 airstones with 2 in each bucket and 2 are in the reservoir. So if I started basically over even getting new hoses . How would should I do it . Even if I have to get a new reservoir. I'm growing in a ft long x 4 wide tent . If anyone has time can they breakdown how to make it right?
Things like bulkhead size hose size , set up in a 4 foot tent with the reservoir outside of the tent. Bucket placement everything. Can anyone give me the perfect set up using what I have . I have extra money to do what I need to do to perfect it . I just nwed advice from the experts

Wow!! Probably sold you all of his old shit that was useless.12” pieces of hose were all cut offs. Makes more money by selling you more fittings then you needed. I wouldn’t buy from him any more.
I definitely won't.
He told me he was building me a " kick ass " system . I asked how much it would be he told me $300 max . I told him money wasn't really the issue I want a top of the line system ready to grow . Thats what he gave me . It also ended up being like $350

Other than that I have nothing else to prevent it . From what I read the oxygen made by the bubbles from the airstones would help prevent root rot . Is there anything else I can do or should be doing?

Start googling.the first pinned threads here and in bubbleponics talk about it. Read those then ask some questions.
Okay thank you for all of your help . I'm in Illinois so it's legal now , so they made it legal for us with medical cards legal to grow 4 plants. Lol I definitely should have done a lot more research. But this is definitely an interesting learning experience.
