The contrast will definitely be nice, but my YouTube following may unsubscribe if I reveal this. At least the guys anyway. Thought about maybe just doing the return in pink and the drains in light grey with the dark grey scheduled 80 fittings. The last time I did purple and it was pretty cool. Let me know what you guys think. :-)

I did a spray painted gradient. So like my PVC fades from orange (sump) to blue (display). I definitely think you should do both adds flavor and makes it unique. Super cool build also!

P.S. might help in the long run ;)

That sounds pretty cool. Yeah, I’m just tired of the common plumbing look. I’ve done so many builds at this point that it bores me unless I get unique and crazy with it. I originally planned on Blue and Scheduled 80 because blue is my favorite color, but so many people have the blue/grey look now. The purple I did on the last build popped very nice in person. I like the colored plumbing a lot. Don’t forget to cast a vote in the poll.
 
At this point it appears that Reefers are digging this intense color and either want all Pink or the light Grey drains with Pink returns. I think that may look pretty sweet and if it keeps the Wifey happen then I’m good with it. It’s behind closed doors in the sump area anyway. Not sure how it will look with my ball valves. They have a touch of blue.

I could go with light Grey on the return pipe and just do Pink fittings. That might look better?
