Where do you buy valves?

[Sawdonkey]

I assume there is a cheaper place than bulk reef, Marine Depot, etc, to buy check valves, true union ball valves, etc. where do you guys buy your plumbing supplies? Anywhere local (city preferred). Online?

Once this Jaebo group buy comes in, I plan to hook up my DC12000 and I want to do it right. I may need some plumbing advice if anyone out there considers them self a tank plumbing expert. My system works as it is now, but there are some flaws and it could definitely be better.

I've bought some at the local Ace hardware and Menards.

I'll keep this in mind, but I'm not quite sure what I'll need yet. I need to do some planning. I'd like to do a manifold to run my reactors, so I need to do some research on how to do this. I'll hit you up when my planning is done. In the meantime, if anyone has any good manifold plans, I'd love to see them.

I will only use gate valves in my reef. It's hard to get exact with ball valves

Bought mine on amazon. Seems they have most sizes 1/2", 3/4" and 1"

. No issues with them at all

Thanks everyone. I'll check amazon first since I have Prime, then I'll check out ace.
