I'm trying to find black pvc piping to make a closed loop system on my 40g long. Anyone know where to find the black pvc?

My closed loop is just painted black..so far it's really worked well. I don't think I've ever seen black PVC..good luck

I've used 2 part epoxy, for a DIY plywood tank. No leaching of any chemicals that i've noticed. Can get the base tinted. Makes the stuff nice and smooth, especially sanding in between 3 coats, which was a lot of waiting in between coats :rolleye1:

I've gotten black PVC & fittings from Savko plastic pipe & fittings. www.savko.com

krylon fusion spray paints work well for painting pvc.

It was a 2-part epoxy. I can't really take credit for the paint job as Anna did the work on painting my closed loop and the back of my tank.
