Ok, so I'm looking for positive and negatives to using the colored "furniture" grade schedule 40 PVC. I am tearing down an old setup and throwing up a totally new one. I like the asthetics of it. I am wanting to go Blue 2" for suction lines. Red 1" for pressure returns, and red 1/2" for pressure lines for reactors.

Thoughts would be appreciated!
 
Lots of ppl use it with no ill effects, I say go for it if it's what you are looking for
 
You can also use bulk reef supply colored pvc, thats what I did. Just have to have it well planned out so you don't run short and have to wait for another shipment.
 
BRS colored PVC is the same as the furniture Grade at Home Depot, from what I'm seeing. Am I correct on this?
