Horrible White PVC

[Twistofer]

I'm redoing a reef tank and turning it into an Amazonian Basin, planted with driftwood. I will have a 120 gal tank with 35 gal sump/wet-dry setup for filtration. Since no one really makes 3/4" spray bars, I plan on using PVC, but cannot stand the bright white color. I was thinking of using Krylon spray paint (the outdoor, water proof kind made for plastics). Has anyone used it for their tanks? (The cool thing about reef tanks is that coralline algae love to grow on it, so it camouflages PVC beautifully...too bad it doesn't grow in fresh water).

How about using schedule 80 PVC which is gray?

That's my "Plan B," but it comes in threaded, pre-cut lengths ($$$) here in "Nowhere, MT." My nearest big supply (Home Depot/Lowes) is about 75 min away and $40+ in gas. I was thinking about using a matte green/brown/olive to blend in better.

PS: I was thinking about using the In-Floor heating conduit, but that comes in lovely bright blue and red. :D

I did forget to mention that many have used Krylon fusion paint as you mentioned in OP, but I figured I'd give you the option to keep potential contaminents out of the water.

I used krylon fusion on on plastic intake/output in my angelfish tank, I never had any issues with it. I wouldn't worry about it, a lot of people with planted tanks use it without issue as well.

Bulk reef supply has black and other colors of schedule 40 PVC.
