HELP!!!!! Bulkheads in London or Toronto?

[curiousphil]

Hey guys, I posted this here specifically instead of the Looking For area because I figure it could be useful information to others in the future.

My girlfriend is helping someone setup a 4 ft tall column tank that has an extra thick bottom pane, and the standard 1 inch bulkhead she was provided from the manufacturer is too small. We could obviously order the required bulkheads online but would prefer to avoid waiting a week and shop local.

I already had her try Sealife to no avail. I don't know of any other stores in the area that might have bulkheads - so I need suggestions!! I'm also open to suggestions for Toronto stores because I'll be there tomorrow helping my brother move.

I'm sure someone here knows of a source. Help a brother out! Thanks.

I don't know about the bulkheads, but that sure is a sweet tank!!

In theory it's kind of a neat tank... but in reality what can you stock it with? The customer wants big fish. But big fish don't swim up and down. And as a reef tank it would be a nightmare to light the bottom of it.....

She is super pissed that they couldn't be talked into a normal tank lol.

are you sayign the threaded part is not long enough?


or the hole is too big?

Does it matter what size hole? Plasco on dundas street by trails end sells big beefy bulky ones.

You could put big angel fish in it, they swim
Up and down

The hole is 1 inch dia, it's the threaded part that isn't long enough.

If you know the needed threaded length give them a call:

Oh! Good to know!

Bulkhead possibly located in Ilderton. If case that doesn't work then I've identified a few other possibilities:
-Plasco on Dundas (thanks Jerry!)
-TSC
-Splash Works Pool & Spa

The bottom of that damn tank is two panes of either 1/2" or 3/4" glass, and it seems that most normal bulkheads are only designed for a max of 1/2".

Would be good for seahorses but pretty useless shape for much else IMO.

How do you arrange rock work or decorations? I know...make it a nano with a 3 foot DSB...

You could do a dedicated NPS system and add a couple of deepwater basslets.
