I have an orchid v2, the bottom deck is stuck to the clearish section and I can't for the life of me unscrew it. My friend at work suggested I stick a small nail or something in the airhole to unscrew it but I'm a little confused. Help??

What is confusing about it? you put a nail or small screwdriver into the hole and then use the expose portion as leverage to turn them.
If the plastic tank slips while doing it, use some rubber bands or something to get a better grip on it.
Just try to go slowly with even pressure to minimize the chance of damaging the threads or tank.

You might have to result to pliers. Just make sure you are careful and that you protect the device with a layer or two of cloth before you use the pliers.

Use the small screwdrivers that come with it (blue ones) put it in the airhole on the base and unscrew. That's how I do mine when they're seized. Best of luck bud!thanks alot everyone. Nice to have clarification + a knowledgeable community to help
Put it in the freezer for ten min or so when use the lil blue screwdriver that came with it in one of the air holes for leverage
I stick a blue magic screwdriver in an air hole and twist.
