Since I am not going to go ahead and set my 55gal for a reef just yet I will be doing DIY PVC plumbing to a sump at a later date. As with everything in this build, I am planning ahead before I even to get that point so I have a multi point question:

What paint is reef safe to paint the PVC to match the back of the tank?
What PVC adhesive is reef safe to attach the piping together?
PVC adhesive on the inside or silicone on the outside?

Looking at the possibility of PEX over PVC...any thoughts?

Kryon fusion is what I used. As for plumbing, it really helped me to watch the bulkreef video for glueing pvc. I pretty much bought what they used in the video.
