Sump plumbing

[Auqa84]

Well today i got my 20g long drilled and internal overflow box mounted and bulkhead fittings installed...as well as painted the back glass black and tinted the 2 sides. *Looks awesome* so now on to sump plumbing. Is it better to hard pipe it with PVC? Or use flex tubing? Right now im thinking 1inch PVC pipe for the drain and 3/4 flex tubing for the return. Whats your opinion? And what do you like more and why?

I hard piped and used a 12" flex piece to connect my pump to the return hard pipe.

Flex for the overflow, because its not under pressure, and pvc for the return because it is under pressure.

I think i will do that. Flex for overflow and pvc for return

I use PVC as my main return line. I run tubing from my pump to the PVC on the return though.
