STEVE October 23, 2012 October 23, 2012 Where do you get the strainers that go over your 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" over flow's? Any where local? I have a 1 1/4 piece of pipe I need to put one on.
MBVette October 23, 2012 October 23, 2012 I never found one for my 1.5" slip bulkhead. So if you find one let me know
Der ABT October 23, 2012 October 23, 2012 havent had one taht size, got one in the 2in... also look at the plastic gutter gaurds to make your own.
Coral Hind October 24, 2012 October 24, 2012 I picked up two 1 1/2" slip strainers from Fins and Feathers last week.
STEVE October 24, 2012 Author October 24, 2012 I cant really describe the one I saw on someones tank......It looked like a miniture floor drain. It was low profile, unlike the bulkhead strainers.....if that makes any sense.

It was low profile, unlike the bulkhead strainers.....if that makes any sense. IMO, the bulkhead strainers are better .. the 'low profile' type, i.e. the ones that lie flat against the bulkhead and don't protrude into the tank, tend to clog up quicker. A large snail can sit on the low profile and reduce the waterflow thru it enough to possibly cause a tank over flow. just my .02
STEVE October 24, 2012 Author October 24, 2012 That's probably what I will end up doing Bob. I did measure it this morning and it is a 1 1/2 size.
