[Anyone know a good place (local) to buy hose clamps? I'm using the normal metal ones on anything that isn't going to get wet, but I need something for the pump that is feeding the skimmer and for the one feeding the return to the tank. I can't use metal for them b/c they will be under water.

I couldn't find any plastic ones at Home Depot or Lowes, but I may have been looking in the wrong area.]
 
[I looked around a bit for the plastic clamps as well. Ended up finding them at Dallas North Aquarium I believe.]
 
[Most plumbing supply stores have them. Or MarineDepot.com if you don't mind mail order.]
 
[I found what I needed. I was at my LFS today for something else and they had a few they were able to sell me for fairly cheap. Saved me the hassle of checking if Ace or another HW store had anything.]
 
[You might consider using those plastic clamps even for connections not under water. The humidity in your stand is pretty high, and even without direct contact, it can cause the metal clamps to rust. BTDT...]
