nbw Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Saw some of these Lifegard Bulkheads at the local LFS today and looked excellent for attaching to drilled holes in the tank as they come in black and also a clear blue. They wanted $35 dollars per fitting. Seems a bit pricey but must admit they were a very good product as they came with a rubber seal, strainer fitting and T-Piece fitting. Does anyone know of where else these are located or of a similar product, since its going to cost me around $150 for fittings alone. Also has anyone heard of where Loc Line Adjustable Nozzles can be purchased from as I think they would be great for water dispersion with the tank. cheers nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of plumbing supply shops in brookvale and hornsby where you can get bulk heads much cheaper than in a LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genetik_defekt Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 goto bunnings they are $4-$12 in the irregation section. To give you an idea how much aquariums tack on check out the prices. This is a U.S site but factor in currency, shipping then add a discount for large product orders etc. Im surprised people still buy alot of fittings and things from LFS. http://www.aquariumpros.com/c-PFbh.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
