What size bulkheads do you use for tubing? 1/4"?

This seems very nice compared to my acrylic "dosing box". The lid always curves up

Yep. They are 1/4" and they work with the acrylic and RO line :)

Love it! Definitely using those on my new build. The only thing I may do differently is different color caps for each solution.
