    I have a white pvc elbow inside my aquarium for the return of my refugium.  Is there any special paint or sealeant I can use to get this white out of my aquarium?  The bulk heads loc-line and background are all black and that one piece is just a bad eye sore!

    I used Black Spay paint for plastic with ok results, just google the question and you will see threads on forums related to this; but concensus is the black spray paint for plastic is fine.

    Ok awesome thats what I was thinking, I just didn't want something in the paint to slowly leak into my water or something.

    I us black paint for plastic too. Works great. It does run more than regular spray paint so take your time and do multiple coats.
