Tool Recommendation / Cutting Downflow Pipe

[Reefer Stride 42]

Hi,

My new 4 month old aquarium’s downflow pipe is about 1’ too long and bypasses the hole to feed into the sump. I’ve been using a funnel (pictured) for the past few months but it will occasionally tilt, or fall down, causing a leak. I’ve decided it’s definitely time to rectify the issue before a major leak happens overnight or while I’m away. I’m not much of a handyman however I figured I’ll probably need to be in this hobby.

Does anyone have any recommendations as far tools go to cut the pipe? I’ve seen a few tools recommended on this site for the job but I can’t recall what they were.

Any help is appreciated! Attached is the picture of the current setup.

Thanks!

PVC pipe cutter is the preferred option.
Available in the hardware stores in the sprinkler or plumbing department
