Lowes.. best price / selection that I know of.  There is a store on merrivale (PVC Store I think its called) as well, but probably more expensive then lowes.

Probably the difference between SCH80 and SCH40.  You don't need SCH80 for an aquarium.

Lowes has them beat though at average of $1-2/piece.

They might have a few harder to find pieces though.  Some 1 1/2" parts are hard to find, for example.

Home depot is pretty cheap as well, though they're mostly limited to 1" and under.

agreed with above... Lowes is good... has lots of parts.

PVC Plus has better parts and all of the hard to find stuff.  Tell me it's for your tank, they usually give a great discount... bring cash cash...

Wow incredible... Thanks for all the information.

I am ultimately looking at building a DIY co2 bubble diffuser and couldn't find some parts at lowes in Orleans.

Which location of Lowes do you guys recommend?

They all have the same stock.

Post by: JetJumper on April 02, 2012, 10:54:48 AM
They are supposed to.  However I do find the odd part that I have required only in the Orleans Lowes and not in the Kanata Lowes. But thats just odd ball parts.  Most Elbows, 45's, etc.. are at the Lowes in Kanata.
