daplatapus! The only reason for the coloured piping is because all the equipment is in the stand. If I had a fish room downstairs I'd be using white sched40 as well. The extra cost would not be justified IMO. Plus, the fittings have really been a nightmare to find locally. Probably won't go that route again.
No updates on your build lately, what's going on?

theokie, the tweaking I did today has solved all the issues I had... and when I say 'I', that really means my wife, Lol.
Replaced the OXO silicone mat with an inch of foam filter media. Shortened the PVC riser (had to use a coupling), and replaced the vinyl tubing with latex medical tubing from New Line Hose & Fittings:

It looks ugly as hell, IMO, but has made it completely silent! I would highly recommend it.
Now that the plumbing is all sorted I can focus my attention on the rockwork. Might be PM'ing a few of you guys for some tips!
Thanks for looking.
