Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Why-Me]

I really hate red.

There's orange, yellow, blue, green, gray, black, white, violet to choose from also.

And Clear!!!

Don't do it though you might regret it! Lol!

I was thinking grey pipe. Black and grey. Throw in red somewhere to tie the colors in.

That's what I wanted initially, until someone warned me it would just look gross.

 

[Katrina71]

I like skeleton watches the same way.

Grey is strictly Schedule 80 from all that I've searched. You could do black pipe with Grey schedule 80 fittings...

Nice, certainly an option, I don't shop BRS for pipe cause it's so insanely expensive there so probably why I missed it lol

Although it's still not Schedule 80 Grey so might look off. You could do, light grey, Schedule 80 dark grey and Red @Katrina71

 

[Why-Me]

BRS has a forever sale on the 2ft colored plumbing.
I got all the purple for my tank for $2.50 per 2ft stick.

 

[Katrina71]

How can we incorporate a small amount of red to it tie together?

For the prices we pay for tanks, sumps, pumps, wavemakers etc. The plumbing was the least of my concerns on my build...What's an extra $30 on plumbing?

 

[Katrina71]

I want to do the sump justice. It's so sleek and beautiful.

Will you be running a manifold?
That could look cool in red with the rest grey?
Or have the return plumbing red and the drains grey or some variation of that?

Fair enough, for me I look at Formufit and at $7ish for a 5 foot piece of pipe vs BRS's $10ish for a piece that's over a foot shorter... yeah can't do it. Lol

I guess it's more of a concern for me cause I need like 120ish Feet of the stuff so cost tends to factor in a bit...

 

[Katrina71]

Colour = Furniture Grade PVC (Preeettyyy)
Hardware store = Regular PVC (Yucky)




What's red that you hate so much?

Skimmer and most handles for valves.

Your sump cost more than my entire build...I can't do that. LOL

Lol. We'll be running whatever y'all tell me we need.

@Fin Jealous yet??
@Katrina71
Here's some inspiration for plumbing

SSSHHHHHHH! Don't let the wife know!!!!!

And it's because I'm frugal on PVC costs and such that I can spend a little more on my sump;Bookworm;Writing
