Local bulkheads?

[jdellman]

Does anyone know where I can purchase bulkheads locally? Or do I need to do the on-line ordering?

I'm not being lazy, I tried doing a search on the forum and it kept showing it was busy.

Thanks,

Most of the reef LFS's will have them. I have found 1" bulkheads at Aquarium Adventure in Schaumburg for about $10-11 a piece.

PPurcell- Thanks for the info.

I will make some calls tomorrow.

also try Old Orchard aquarium, and AquaCave is in Lake Forest.

I have purchased bulkheads from Reef Plus in Aurora and Beyond the Reef in Schaumburg.

Call the nearest store by your house. They would normally be around $10 give or take

If I'm not in a hurry, I'll buy 'em from savko (if you order early enough in the day you'll have your order next day with ground shipping -- these guys ship FAST). If in a hurry or prefer local only, I know for sure Aquarium Adventure has/had some, though their plumbing section is pretty small overall. I'm sure lots of the reef stores will have a small selection of bulkheads and the like since they know they're hard to find locally at a hardware store or the like. Supposedly you can get them from pool supply and/or boating stores sometimes too.
