this is in no way air tight lol, i made sure the holes fir the intake and return were big enough to allow air

not bad dude, stick some filter wool over your drip tray, helps with debris.

What kind of pump are you using there for your return? If you spent 30 bucks pump and all that must have been a 20 dollar pump. I would love something like that!
