they are 2 inch holes and I am using small plastic coffee cups that I brought at the supermarket for like 2 dollars for 100, cant buy rockwool here, the holes do look smaller in the picture than they actually are.
Yeah the endcaps screw off, I tried to make the whole thing as easy as possible to maintain, at the other end I have cheap irrigation valves so I can turn off each pipes, unscrew the bulkhead fitting and lift the pipe out to clean or fix.
I have reciently taped over the clear bits of piping so no more algae, damn stuff grows anywhere.
