The blue in that nano is all Krylon Fusion Patriot Blue (also happens to be the same exact color as the blue furniture grade PVC) :)

Good to know. I used that PVC so I can match without buying more. ;)

Here is an example. I slightly mis-measured on one of my drains going into my sump and had to use some white flex PVC to make up for my mistake. Painted it with the blue Kylon Fusion and this is how it came out. Lucked out there! :)

That's a dead on match to me. (I am color blind but, it would show anyway)

I agree that’s a perfect match.

You guys make it look easy. It sure isn't to a noob.

It is if you believe it to be. Nothing here is complicated, it just seems that way because you're unfamiliar with it. After you setup this one tank, you will have a good idea and firm opinion on what you like/what you would do next time/ and even how to help people in your situation.

It just seems complicated, I promise, it's as simple as it can be.

I would like y'all's opinion. Stand height. This is in a corner next to a window. Andrew can manage the height fine. Do y'all think the top edge of the stand(overhang) would look best 1.5 or 2" above the window sill, or even with it?

@Fin Seriously, you have some amazing plumbing. The DIY tank is awesome! I'm envious. Someday I'd love to have your skill level.
Look at it this way - I have been making plumbing mistakes since about 1983. Ha. :)
