    I plan re plumbing my tank with PVC pipe, currently have flex tubing. I am not happy with tubing for many reasons; it looks ugly, moves and makes messes, and reason for ultimately switching it is starting to clog. Any suggestions or helpful hints? I know measure twice cut once and avoid 90 degree angles as much as possible. I believe I have 3/4 bulkheads they could be one inch can't remember need to measure. Planning on using one inch PVC. Any input is appreciated! Thanks in advance

    spend the money for union ball valves. Makes cleaning easy and replacement as well. Tape threads and paint pipe with krylon fusion for plastics... because it looks SWEET!
