Where to buy bulkheads?

[quan325i]

After picking up the Sequence Dart from Warren last night, i'm ready for pluming my tank. The Dart will serve as my closedloop pump. It's time to buy some bulkheads now. For my closeloop, there will be 2 x 1.5" intakes and 3 x 1" returns. Does this mean I have to buy 2 x 1.5" bulkhead and 3 x 1" bulkhead? Please educate me as I never worked with bulkhead before. Thanks.

Your Reef has them. I have recently gotten 2 from them, a 2 inch and a 1/2 inch.

I have a 1.5" bulkhead that I can ship for $8 if you're interested, it's brand new never been used.

Where is Your Reef? I bought stuff from John long time ago and know he opened a store recently.

I've never seen any HD or Lowes around here selling them.

Same here... I asked the plumbing guy at Lowes just this weekend and he looked at me with a puzzled look and said "a bulk what"

If the 3 outlets are through the glass/acrylic then, yes, you need 3 bulkheads to go through the tank wall. If you are taking any outlets over the top of the tank and into the water, then you don't need bulkheads for those.

You would need 2 X 1.5" for the intakes as, I assume, you are going through the tank wall to access the water and not over the top.

Oh, if you're not in a hurry I would recommendSavko
as they have the lowest prices I have found anywhere.

I agree 100%, so where did the original poster find his ?

[edit] I see that he is in aparetnly the St Louis area.. I guess they carry such things in HD there.
