Clear PVC?

110galreef · 02-21-2006, 07:39 PM

Anyone know where I can get some clear PVC. ~1 1/4 or so.
I am considering using this in a corner as it should be very hard to see it in the tank as a pickup for a CLS.

Thanks

Not sure how it will look later down the road though. I keep the back coraline free.

Try this place but they may have a big minimum for shipping, there is also a national chain called "Tap Plastics" http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/basket.asp

Found this. Would work great as it is a very thinwall for maximum water flow.

I'll have to see on shipping and whether it would be compatible w/ regular sch 40 PVC fittings.

They have regular clear PVC as well

Thanks

Anyone else.

Most places have a min order of $500 which is easy to spend it's a lot times more then reg PVC.And the algea will grow on there!

Yeah I was wondering about that.

I may just have to drill a bulkhead in the upper back left corner. Any ideas. I would put it right next to the overflow and about 1/3 down just behind some rock but don't think I'll really be able to plumb since I won't be able to reach it there. In the outside left edge is a well hidden side where the tank is in a corner yet I have plenty of access there to reach in and plumb it.

Isn't this the same stuff that you can get in 3' lengths at the LFS?

Yeah, that is what I was thinking as well. Kind of like the stuff used on UG filters or my gravel vaccum

www.savko.com, they used to not have a min, but I have not ordered from them in quite some time. See http://www.savko.com/PartList.asp?pgid=4&ptid=18&pid=18
