Ohhhh, the fuge. I was all "here WHAT is" and looking back 2-3 pages to see what the context was and then realized it was mentioned in the title of the post.

Man, that's a lot of pipes and valves and stuff. Looks really neat.

I really like the look of the grey plumbing...WAAAAAAAAAAY nicer than the white. Is it more rigid too?

The grey stuff is seriously WEAPON material. It's at least twice as thick-walled as the sch40 white pvc. My plumbing alone is pretty heavy. I lose flow, it cost more and had to be shipped but it looks great haha. I'll bet I could have a reef by now if I wasn't so fussy!

couldn't someone just buy CPVC from anywhere? It's pvc for electrical conduits. It's the same as pvc (as far as I know) and it's grey.

Schedule-80 pipe is also grey. It's rated for much higher pressures than we really need but you can't argue against that it looks cooooooool.

Ok the tank looks 10x cooler under light AND water. Do I win a biscuit?

This is freshwater of course lol. Leak-free so far! Going to run it all day and hope for the best. I'm leaving the house for most of the day too which seems pretty smart to me.

And yeah the plumbing was from BRS.

Coolest thing is with sunlight in my livingroom the auto whitebalance has capture the look perfectly! Tho your mileage may vary since every monitor is diff.
