Where do you get your bulk heads from?

Kim, I have found the same folks on Aquaria Central where I hang around. The problem is that these numbskulls attribute feelings to fish. Fish that have a brain the size of a pinhead. I must admit I have tried Yellow Tangs in a three foot tank, and found them to be just nervous, so, yes they do want more room. I grew a Regal Tang from the size of a quarter until he was about three inches long. He too became nervous so I traded him to Pisces.

Well, perhaps they're using it "all the time" but only connecting a pipe to the other end, would be my guess anyways.

At any rate I'm glad to hear you got a different piece that will work for you..

For the record, Western Pump and Spa across from Frank Sisson's Casino on 42nd ave is where I just picked up everything I need for plumbing in my overflows/sump. Dealt with the manager, Joe, and he was a TON of help. He thought that ABS fittings, (which are about 1/5 of the price :mad: ) may be toxic to aquarium critters long term. Anyone heard of that? The PVC bulkheads for my 2 1/2 " holes from Danny were $42, and from Western, the ABS equivalent ran about $9.
:confused:
Got my rigid and flex PVC there as well.

Mitch - there was a thread about that a couple days ago in the main forum ... (Thread: Black or White?)

I too have heard you shouldn't use ABS. However I haven't really heard a satisfactory explanation as to why. Perhaps it is that sometimes ABS has some kind of antibacterial/antifungal treatment as was suggested in that thread ... I don't know. If that's true then I guess that's a good reason, but I don't know if that's true. Another person said in that thread that ABS is just fine. So I don't really know what to think... I'm just as confused as ever on this issue...

Mitch;
Thanks a bunch for that info.
Do they have ball/gate valves there as well?
