Aw man, Brett. Don't tell me you plumbed your whole tank using saw. PVC cutters are one of the best things that ever got invented. Just go in there and snip - and it's cut. They are under $20 too. Well.....by the time saltwater is in there it all becomes "white" noise anyway. Get some salt in there!

Yeah, they cut through like butter. They aren't meant for 1 1/2" pipe but I use them anyway. Just gotta get the initial cut, then rotate about 1/8 to 1/4 turn, and then through like butter. I could not imagine hacksawing everything. The pvc cutters give a clean cut without any burrs as well.

+1 for PVC cutters. They're regularly on sale at Princess Auto.
