Rev's 400+ Gallon Basement Inwall

Plumber coming in on Monday to talk with me about the drains!
 
Thinking about plumbing today and pretty colored pipe!

Yay or Nay on the colored pipe?

I love the colored pvc. Really adds to the look of the build.
I plumbed a friends 275 with blue. It did add some cost, but worth it.
 
I got the colored pvc I used on my friends tank from BRS, but recently saw a thread ( somewhere) here on R2R that said you could find some at Home Depot ( online) for a little cheaper than BRS.
 
Red and blue with the gray gate valves would look cool.

I recently saw a red pvc pipe with all grey fittings and valves. Looked pretty cool.

I think we are on the same page Gate Valve I have one like this. Really nice compared to a ball valve

Wow! How did I miss this for so long. Congrats Rev on your beautiful new home. Very excited to see the transition goes and the tank build will be epic. I remember back in the day when I was always envious of your other tank. This new one will be giving me the itch again to go larger. But there is no way my wife will let me. Good luck my friend on your new adventure. I'm very excited for you.

Oh my did you just say what I thought you said? Don't ever let the word envious and me ever come out of your mouth! YOU SIR ARE THE BENCHMARK FOR AWESOME REEFS AND TANKS!
 
Thanks everyone! Some days I'm super excited and others I'm real nervous to the point of rethinking it all. I feel like I am crossing the bridge though to being comfortable with this all. Thanks for the support!
