Grey is strictly Schedule 80 from all that I've searched. You could do black pipe with Grey schedule 80 fittings...

Nice, certainly an option, I don't shop BRS for pipe cause it's so insanely expensive there so probably why I missed it lol

Although it's still not Schedule 80 Grey so might look off. You could do, light grey, Schedule 80 dark grey and Red @Katrina71

For the prices we pay for tanks, sumps, pumps, wavemakers etc. The plumbing was the least of my concerns on my build...What's an extra $30 on plumbing?

How can we incorporate a small amount of red to it tie together?
Will you be running a manifold?
That could look cool in red with the rest grey?
Or have the return plumbing red and the drains grey or some variation of that?

Fair enough, for me I look at Formufit and at $7ish for a 5 foot piece of pipe vs BRS's $10ish for a piece that's over a foot shorter... yeah can't do it. Lol

I guess it's more of a concern for me cause I need like 120ish Feet of the stuff so cost tends to factor in a bit...
