Bulkhead Drains

[greasemonkey]

Were do you go to get the hardware for bulkhead drains? I am setting up a 5gal fuge for my tank and want to drill this acrylic 5gal and put a drain like Ive seen at Aquatic Warehouse. Sorry I dont know what their setup style is called.

For bulkheads, you can get them at a few of the local fish stores or from many of the online aquatic supply companies. Some of the LFS keep them behind the counter so you have to ask for them. As far as the other plumbing parts, Home Depot and Lowes are the easiest places to get things. Unfortunately, they don't always have the exact part you are looking for as it may not be a commonly used plumbing item so you you should look through catalogs from the online stores to find what you need. Hope that helps.

Sippels True Value in U. C. has a great selection of plumbing parts for the Aquarium person and they are cheaper than home depot. They have everything but the bulk heads.

I am going to use a powerhead, in the main tank, to feed the fuge but will I need a larger return line than the feed? I dont know what size bulkheads I should use. The fuge will be above the main tank. Any suggestions welcome.

Oh yeah. What is the best sand to use? I have 6 lbs. of rubble rock.
