Not sure if this will help but much good info here: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=26343

I goto my local plumbing store and buy 1/2" bulkhead fitting and connect a barb fitting to it for my hose.
The bulk head attaches by drilling a hole in the bucket and it has gaskets that seal it.
I can post pics if you need

i go to homedepot all the time asking for bulkhead fittin and the dumf*cks never know what im talking about, any websites to get all the supplies from dirt cheap? and yea post some pics up if u could. thanks

yeah, the HD around me doesn't carry them, they told me for liablility reasons? I told them I was trying to make a rain barrel to catch water run-off, they didn't have a clue. Your local plumbing supply store will have them, the one that all the real plumbers go to. If not, just google it, you'll get a whole bunch of hits. My suggestion would be to get a bunch of them. I put them on the bottom of both reservoirs, and the tank for my RO water. I would suggest a fill valve that is adaptable to 1/4 tubing that way you always have fresh water on reserve.

Are thinking of a group of buckets all hooked up to one res ? If so look on the Stealth Hydro website for there bucketeer setup it would be easy to copy ...

you can get a General Hydroponc Water Farm replacement kit for $15+tax. Comes with tube, dripper, air-line hose, "grommet", 1/4 elbow and tubing.

use the grommet and elbow then find a extra long piece of 1/4 tubing for your "hose".
