bulkheads...

[pinstripes]

Do lowes and home depot have these products for my aquarium needs? I need an 1 inch and 3/4 inch with nuts and washer, do these stores have these? Thanks a bunch.

i dont think so but you can get them from dr. foster and smiths

You can make one out of the gray plastic electrical conduit, but I don't think they're as good as the real thing. I buy mine from drsfostersmith.com or bigalsonline.com.

If you need any diamond glass bits best place and the cheapest is lau off of ebay. 10.00 shipped to your door for the 1" bulkhead.

I've never seen bulkheads in any hardware store :( My LFS sells them though. They are much more expensive than ordering online, but convenient.

ebay.

I'm with everyone on here. It really sucks when your moving a 180g fish tank out a 24 inch wide window and forget the bulkhead has to be cut off (sunday morning) your lfs isn't open on sundays and yoy have to drive 25 miles to the nearest lfs while your fish are in buckets on your kitchen floor!

I REALLY wish bulkheads were sold at home depot or lowes, sadly they are not.

I agree with the above check your lfs.

 

[bullitt21]

you can get cheap bulkheads at lowes in the pond section.

You guys have "pond sections" of your home improvement stores?

 

[bullitt21]

yep.we sure do.
