Trade 55 for 55?

[spazmattik]

Just curious if anyone on here is interested in swapping 55 g's.

I have a drilled starfire tank and moving into an apartment soon so I would preffer to have undrilled

Nice tanks

Just plugging it would be far simpler and you're unlikely to get one as nice in exchange. If you can't find a bulkhead plug, a piece of glass siliconed on the INSIDE of the tank is secure and removable if you ever want to revert.

Right now I'm using rubber stoppers the guy in the plumbing isle showed me. The screw up to tighten from the bottom. Do you think those are sufficient long term? Feel comfortable woth that on the 2nd floor of an aprtment building??

Are they threaded bulkeads or "slip"(no-threads)?

I think I can picture the rubber stopper you are describing. I would worry about it putting pressure on the glass and possible cracking it. I'd just use an aquarium bulkhead and plug the hole with a PVC section and cap.

This is what I would do. You can used black PVC or paint it if you want it to stick out less.

I think this is what I originally looked into and the bulkheads were expensive. :/ Unless i was looking at the wrong thing, the stuff I found was like 30 bucks a piece

Stith aquatics, a sponsor of aquamania, should be able to get them for you for a reasonable price. I think some of the marine places figure since some of the stuff is expensive, they can rip people off for the relatively cheap stuff.

Most bulkheads cost around $7 to $11 a piece at most non box pet stores.
