    Default Bulk head question

    So I'm going to be moving my refugium and will need to loosen the bulk heads on my tank. Do I need to replace them or should they be ok to resuse?

    If I should replace them where in town do they sell them?

    I replace them each time. Yes, it's expensive. But it's better than getting a leak.

    I just replaced mine, and I got them from Aquarium Designs. Just take your old ones in. They have buckets of each size.

    I dont know for sure, but I wouldnt think that the bulk heads themselves would need to be changed. But I def would change the gasket part of it, new rubber rings.

    Can you just buy the gaskets?

    I would think you could buy just the gaskets, or you could do what mrarturocampos suggested.
