I am planning to put it in an external enclosure, probably an old AT case or something similar. It will be at the top and probably protrude a little from the top of the case. I might cut a 4 1/2 circle in the top and mount some plexi there so I can see inside. Then I can just look in and see if it needs filling and remove the whole cap when I need to.

My question is, Do I need to worry about pressure from accumulated air bubbles building up in the top of the res? I am using Tygon, and I hear it's pretty airtight. Pump is AV 1300, and I'll be using lots of tight hose clamps. If so, could I alleviate the pressure just by opening the top every so often? How often would I need to do that?
