Fish/tank safe paint/add on pvc n nozzles?
I've got a megaflow overflow, and the return on it needs to be extended out (and have a couple more outlets added).
I can see my tank from two sides, one side being a lower flooring, so I will be able to see the [acronym:c2077320b7="Plastic pipe"]pvc[/acronym:c2077320b7] extension from the overflow quite clearly. I'd prefer it be black then white, as white would draw too much attention (ESPECIALLY with the moonlights going). SO: 1. The overflow return has a mag12 on it atm, so I've got a decent amount of pressure coming out the curent Y connector. I'd like to T it at the current return exit, put the current Y on the front facing part of the T, ad about a 1.5ft section with an elbow and place an addition Y connector for two more outputs. On each of the Y's, there's be a standard fan nozzle and a Hydor (which limits the flow to an extent). Would doing this provide too little pressure at the end of the pipe? (i.e all the water simply going out the first Y only with but a trickle out the other Y) 2. What paints (available from a local hardware store) are tank/fish safe? All I found for paint here on the forums was basically a brush on rubber that was cost prohibitive for this simple project. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

They do make black [acronym:523d1143b2="Plastic pipe"]pvc[/acronym:523d1143b2] pipe. It may also be more costly though.
