Faithbleed Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just wondering where to get these items? Have tried Bunnings, Mico Plumbing, Pool/Spa Place so far, but can't find what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 What are you looking for specifically? Mitre10 usually has a reasonable selection and Mico plumbing should have just about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayne Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 the "bulkheads" are called tank fittings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithbleed Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 the "bulkheads" are called tank fittings Cheers Zayne, I went to Mastertrade and got the fittings/bulkheads I needed. Next questions is where do I get these things from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy-fish Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Next questions is where do I get these things from? It's called Loc Line and I get mine from fish-street cheap as chips. Here's the link: http://www.fish-street.com/water_movement It takes about a week to arrive and probably worth grabbing a few extra bits and pieces to make it worth while :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithbleed Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ah cheers, the name was what I was after. Found these site as well, seem to have a large range: http://aquariumsupplies.marinedepot.com/search?w=loc%20line&modaf=null http://www.petstore.com/Aquarium_Loc_Line_Fittings_Return_Tubes-AQPLLL-ct.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this site as well, seem to have a large range: http://aquariumsupplies.marinedepot.com/search?w=loc%20line&modaf=null check on shipping rates etc. Ordering from USA can get expensive. fish-street have a shipping calculator to NZ which is exact. It goes on weight. It's pretty handy. I have the single LOC line on my new 200L tank. Great water spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithbleed Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Will check rates, cheers. Does fish-street only supply those three items, as I'll probably need connectors etc... How did you connect it to your bulkhead? If the loc-line is 3/4 inch (19mm) and my bulkhead hole is 25mm, who do I fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy-fish Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 How did you connect it to your bulkhead? Mine is connected to a cannister filter hose at the moment. If the loc-line is 3/4 inch (19mm) and my bulkhead hole is 25mm, who do I fix that? You could by a reducer. Local hardware stores should sell them along with farming supply stores. The stuff mainly used for irrigation, trophs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 should be able to buy direct from hose or engineer supplies in your area let your fingers do the walking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithbleed Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Right, I'll try that approach. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
