Yeah, I knew that. I just saw that they use UPS, and I assume there will be some extra BS fees at the border. And with 150-200lbs of rock, it won't be looking pretty. I was hoping to hear if...

I saw the clear solvent at HD in the electrical section, but wasn't sure if it was safe for potable water.

Nice, what size bulkheads are your returns?

I called these guys for a quote for a 220G, and they wanted nearly 2g's for a 220G with center braces. Quite expensive IMO.
