Nice assortment of SCH80 fittings! They're certainly a lot slicker looking than SCH40!

I remember when I set my tank up and bought a huge assortment of PVC parts from a supply store. The clerk asked me what I was going to use so many PVC fittings for in my home. I told her I was building super mario world. :lol:

 

[rutz81]

Are you going to use SpaFlex, or regular PVC? Also, what is the advantages of using those elbows versus regular white ones, just aesthetic?

Haha no schedule 80 there. Its all gray schedule 40! Best of both worlds!

This plumbing job is definitely the most challenging I have done! I thought it would be simpler with the larger footprint but I was wrong!

No SpaFlex. While there are definitely advantages from a flow perspective, I don't want to lose all structural rigidity. It definitely would have made my life easier though :hmm5: :hmm3: :hmm2:

nice polishing job, I bet the coraline will just slide right off ! :lol:

Sump is here!

Rubble tower without lid. You can see bottom tray.

front is on the left. I went with the clear front for easier viewing of refugium.

 

[FishyBiz]

Very nice.
Where did you get the gray sch40 from?
