bulkheads locally?

[Justin74]

So I got my new tank but I need holes and bulkheads, and an affordable stand, so far for the stand Im thinking petco? Wife doesnt want the old stand anymore. Any and all info is appreciated! Im new to the whole RR thing. And cutting and plumbing scares the bajeezus out of me

Justin- What are the dimensions of your new tank?

 

[edsimmons]

I get my bulkheads @ zYour Reef 1" for $7 last time i was in there (last sunday) John had a bunch.

Good Luck!

 

[Doahh]

your reef has a ton of different sizes of bulkheads

Jon/YR has good bulkhead supply. If you don't find what you're looking for though: You could try your local irrigation supply shop or ag tank retailer (agriform, etc.). If you can afford to wait, it seems marinedepot and aquaticeco have good online selections.

There is also an irrigation supply store in Roklin that has just about anything you're looking for dirt cheap. The name is Normac, INC. and they are on Anthony Ct near Aqualife. 4311 Anthony Ct # 900, Rocklin - (916) 652-5827, Aqualife used to get all of their supplies from them.

Very helpfull guys! I'll check John's store.

Marko9: Same dimensions, 36x15x20, but this one is 3/8" thick instead of 1/4" with built in overlfow in back right corner. So I need to drill at the bottom of the overflow box, and (2) 3/4" returns in the back panel.

Are going to run it on a closed loop or with some kind of return, ie sea swirl?

 

[Justin74]

Just 2 simple returns from the sump and 2 tunze's, but the brace up top is too wide to use the "J" shape returns Im using now, so it'll have to be drilled.

There is a NORMAC shop off longview and watt ave, parallel to business 80, across from the softball complex
