Low Profile Bulkheads

[Phyxius]

I`m setting up a Marineland 60g cube for my wife and am looking for some of the shorter black low profile bulkheads. I `m trying to cut down on the space needed behind the tank and the low profile ones will stick out less than the standard ones. Anyone know where I can locate some of these from any of the sponsors or the like? I already found a source of some space saving PVC fittings and this is the last part I need. Never had this issue with any of my bottom drilled tanks since the can sit closer to the wall

Glass-holes sells them.

Thanks I was looking for this info too. To bad more people just don't use the search.

I did this same research when I was setting up my tank glass holes dot com helped me find the low profile bulkhead and the matching elbow. They did not stock them at that time, but I think they do now. Mike (I think thats the name of the person running glass holes) ordered a few and added it to his product listing.

I am able to set my tank 3.5" from a back wall (could be closer) using the low profile bulkhead and elbow. the elbow is actually the nut for the bulkhead. using normal bulkhead and elbow I think I would have to position the tank 6" from the wall.

I saw that on another site and its the part I need about the spacing I`m looking for. Thanks for all the help and links its been a help.

I edited my post, my tank is 3.5" from the backwall, but can be as close as 2.5". I was targeting 4". I did not even had to buy the bulkhead. Mike just told me to send him my regular bulkhead and he sent me the low profile one as even exchange even if I did not buy the regular bulkhead from him. Really great guy.
