    Red with gray fittings or any color with white fittings would look sick

    I actually ordered furniture grade white PVC for my plumbing. A few weeks later BRS came out with this stuff! If I change sumps in the future I will use it....maybe color code return one color drains another? Now If I could just figure out how to organize all the stinking wires!

    Unfortunately I didn't get the fittings without the dang bar codes.

    Red for drains, blue for returns? Maybe purple for reactor plumb lines?

    Is there a middle support in the top of that tank? I really like your light rack.

    Good - that's a really long tank. It's going to take up more real estate than mine.

    Right side coming together. Figuring out to lengths so when the colored pvc comes in, it's just measure and cut

    Completed plumbing runs this weekend. Got water in the tank and no leaks. lol never realized how long it would take to make 300+ gallons of salt to fill this thing. Some updated pics below.

    That colored PVC is sick. How is the drain set up working?

    Drains working good. Had some gurgling issues on left dursos (short sides/runs to sump). Think I got them figured out. Some minor leaks on the return lines I was also able to fix. Unions.....genius ideas!!
