Overflow return PVC Color

[marcnc]

What do most of you do that have corner overflows? The white really stands out since you can see my tank from both sides, and in the past I have used paint, but not help up well on the PVC as it blisters over time in the overflow box. Should I go with color PVC?

Thanks

If u have 1.5" bulkheads u can use abs. U can find it at one of the big box stores. Lowes usually carries it but not all Home Depots do. If they are 1" then u would have to order colored pvc. I would do eighther one before I painted it.

Yeah if it's over flow and not pressure abs will work

Thanks, they are both 1" so I would assume I will need to switch out my bulkheads as well don't see any black fittings, as the bulkheads are threaded.

I would just order colored pvc from home depot, its free shipping on it I believe and way cheaper than brs carries, the same stuff to from what I can tell. they call it furniture grade pvc.

With the 1" bulkheads u are going to have to get the furniture grade pvc. If u need fittings & pvc u may have to look at a place like savko or flexpvc. U may be able to find the black fittings u need on amazon also.

Just go to BRS and get the black. I got black 1" for my drains just to keep em dark and so algae won't grow and I used red 3/4" for my return pipes just because I had extra
