I've been trying to track down a local store that sells bulkheads that's nearby, but even ACE hardware, which supposedly stocked them at one time, failed me. Anyone know of a good local source that's on the east side of Cleveland? I assume some of the better stocked westside stores like aquatic tech have them, and I'll probably end up there eventually, but it'd be nice to find a local place. I've tried pool/spa stores too, but they only sell one kind that's way too huge (I'm replumbing some of my water change stuff and maybe even buckets, so those fancy uniseals for curved surfaces would be even better)
best local place to buy bulkhead fittings?

Wow, that's a great find. I'm going to have to restrain myself from ordering too much. 
Someone also mentioned that Jurassic near me had a few, so I'll check there as well (though they are not open Saturdays).
I've been looking at uniseals instead of traditional bulkheads, since I'm plumbing round surfaces, but the instructions suggest using windex as an install lube, which sounds a little scary to me: I don't let windex anywhere near my tank, and I don't see why I'd want to use it in my fittings.

A little saliva does the trick too
I have heard of others using KY-jelly since it is water based and rinses off easily. I have installed about 20 of the uniseals in my system and other people's. You can get them pretty cheap at http://aussieglobe.com/uniseal3.htmI have purchased from both Savko.com (in Columbus BTW) and AussieGlobe.com (in Loudenville, OH) without issues.
I think Hector at Tropical Aquarium stocks bulkheads and uniseals. I know that you could get them at Aquatic Tech or Salty Critter but that's definitely not east side.
