Got my water table and tank plumbing done! For those using an electric pump, a PVC check valve is a much nicer option than a manual valve, and at my HW store was the same price. Still have the buckets staged from leak testing, but so far everything is holding.
This had a little bit of DIY flair as I 3D printed my own version of the Van Stone flanges, then laser cut a neoprene gasket (you could also cut this by hand). Following the lead of some others, I took the same model for the gasket and made a toolpath for the plasma. The 1/2" bolt holes were easily cut in the table using the table itself!
