Larger black pvc?

[sick_lid]

Does anyone know where I can find some 6" or bigger black pvc piping? Lowes and Home Depot are no bueno. My fish have outgrown theirs already, and the white looks just plain tacky in my tank.. Thanks a lot.

You could always buy the white PVC and paint it, probably cheaper than black PVC. Krylon Fusion spray paint works well and is safe

True, I never really thought of that. I guess being lazy plays a part in that as well

Black PVC? Do you mean ABS?

i looked all over louisville and i cant find any they all say that they dont use it any more. i painted some blk with fusion paint but it scrapes off easy and i took it out when i got a pleco.

so black ABS will work fine guys? that's cool because it's nice looking and I have some! tons of that stuff at the hardware stores around here.

Black ABS fittings will sink.... black ABS pipe will not.... very porus. If you look at a cross section of it you'll see that it's not solid material and will need to be weighted down. You'll find larger diameter pipe at plumbing and/or irrigation supply warehouses.

Thanks for all the replys guys. I'll go check some farming and/or plumbing places tomorrow.
