Clear bulkheads

[rk_tek]

I am trying to find clear bulkheads to drill my rimless 27g. Has anyone had luck finding these?

[Misled]

Never seen clear ones.

This place may have them as they sell other clear PVC items.

Savko didn't have them. Although they do have some unique clear PVC tube and fittings. I think I've found a source online though. Thanks

If you have please share it. :)

I found these, but they are only 1/2". http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategories/4253/Bulkheads-Clear-and-Blue

Great link Oildalemonkey.

It appears that lifegard aquatics only has clear bulkheads in 1/2" now. I may contact them directly. Their bulkheads are manufctured by vetoquinol. However, jehmco has 1/2", 3/4", and 1" bulkheads in clear.

Thanks for sharing the info!

So I started this thread over a year ago, and I finally ordered my clear bulkheads from Jehmco. I purchased 2 and with shipping they cost less than standard black ones at my LFS. The packaging has lifegard aquatics on it and Jehmco sells 1/2", 3/4", and 1" bulkheads in clear blue.

I've found them more prone to crack then the abs ones. Make sure not to overnighten.

Damn that is sexy. Tight work.

[MrineLfRlz]

very nice thank you

[slowflow]

are your doors hinged?

[rk_tek]

are your doors hinged?

The door on the left is hinged, but the door on the right slides on a track so I can have it open to see the corals and fish in the sump without the door sticking out. There is a matching set if doors on the back so I can set this up as a peninsula when I have the space.

[das75]

well now I can see why you wanted clear. Very nice.

Psychiatrists would want to set a time to meet every week and be all strict, I'm not into that much structure. I have a closet, but a lot of clothes never make it out of the clean laundry basket. My aquarium and socket sets are about all that is organized. Priorities.

Very nice setup! Great job!
