What size of Surge tank for ET2


I have an ET2 fed by a Medo AC0110 pump.
I also have all the parts to convert it in the future to ET2.5

What is the volume of surge tank I need to build?
What material to use - my first effort to build a 2 litter surge tank using Drain pipes was a failure. The end caps flew out after 2 min eventhough I had them glued using Epoxy

thanks

Drain pipe with end caps work well as 4est said using pvc cement. This cement is a solvent along with cement so it actually softens and combines with the pvc giving it a strong, water tight (or in this case air tight) bond. Be generous with the cement and use the cleaner/primer first. Also, inserting some fiber in the tube helps dampen the system better than an open tube. One small tweak, put a valve also on the bottom of the surge tube so you can drain tramp water out of the tube.
