cube return

[sly fox]

ok, so i mentioned before im doing a nano build competition with a 25g cube...addboy's been awesome with suggestions

i was going to do my returns coming out of a rock tree about mid way with hydor flos on there, but am thinking of doing the returns high coming over the edge, can anyone suggest a pre-made return pipe that looks sleek, and black?

heres a pic, the return on here was just to get it running and test the setup

Have you looked at Loc Line?

i had thought about locline, its an option, but wanted to know if there were any other options out there..

LocLine can get expensive but it is very versitile. I think most schedule 80 PVC pipe is Dark Grey. Will that work?

[sly fox]

i guess it would, ive been told that krylon black paint is the most salt resistent paint... i wanted something a bit slicker than my meager pvc skills tho... <grin>

Cheapest place I've found LocLine is at:

www.modularhose.com

Alot cheaper than aquaria websites that sell it....

[sly fox]

good prices, plus i noticed they now have reducing adaptors which is interesting

Savko.com (http://www.savko.com/partlist.asp?pgid=5&ptid=20) has good prices, also.

hmmm...savko have a good price on black pvc piping as well :)

[sly fox]
