Looking for suggestions for what to use for my rodi tank to seal up the hole I need to put a heater and power head in my tank for mixing saltwater. I’ve read the hole needs to be sealed to keep the water from being contaminated after filtered. Looking for some kind of grommet or gasket to cover the hole from the power cords. Thanks for the help

I found this but don’t want to drill a 2 inch hole. Looking for something smaller.

What you're looking for is called a cable gland. They're specifically designed to allow a cable to pass through a flat surface without letting fluid pass through too.

The problem with that is how will you fit the plug or heater through the small opening, you would have to cut the cord unless they sell a big enough one.
