Blue pvc pipe
 

Hi all am just building my new setup and I want blue pvc 1” pipe is there anywhere in canada that sells it ?

Nope. Only BRS or Formufit.

That sucks shipping is a killer for it from those places I wish we could buy that stuff here .

I have painted mine or I was considering a vinyl

How did the paint turn out? And did u tape the ends that go in to the fittings?

Try amazon, if you spend so much shipping is free. Is the same stuff brs sell

I glued everything first. then I roughed up the plastic and painted. work well

FWIW, Krylon Fusion paint is made for plastics and (at least I think) is noted for being safe even under the waterline once dried and cured. Should be able to get it at Canuck Tire.

I wouldn’t be risking paint flaking into my reef tank, saltwater corrodes all and it could potentially harm those sensitive sps.
I think ebay carries that same pvc with free shipping but better to pick up across the border to save on silly clearing charges. Or perhaps Amazon.ca as they probably have stock and ship from their one of their 3 warehouses here.

Krylon is meant for plastics and doesn't flake off the plastic.
I used it as a background on my tank, I can confirm it does flake off glass so I wouldn't use that for glass on the inside of the tank (like for an overflow or whatever - use acrylic). For pipes or anything else on the outside of the tank, and even for eggcrate for overflows - if it was me, I'd use Krylon and never think about it again. But everyone has different thresholds of comfort.

If not comfortable with painting the pipes but really set on having them blue, then I think BRS is the best bet for that. If the shipping is the reason for holding back on that then maybe see if you can do a group order with others to help defray that cost - there's always someone who needs some GFO or Magnesium or Calcium or whatever so hopefully that's something that can work out for the better.

FWIW I get a 404 on the website but I see there is a fb page

What are you people trying to do, give Mindy a heart attack? No links to non sponsor vendors permitted. Geez.... here comes the ban hammer.

Hey everyone,

Send me an email if your interested, I’m in the startup stages so the website isn’t ready just yet.

Thats odd only the post with me saying your comment was untrue got deleted.

I am sure its canreef rules not to link othersites but in a post like this not being able to do it...... now I see why this forum is what it is today vs a few years ago.
