I try not to...

LF: 1.5" PVC - Lower mainland

Hi. Looking for a few feet of 1.5" PVC. Anyone have any they want to get rid of? BC Lower mainland area. I don't really want to go and buy 8 or 10 feet to only use a little bit.

Thanks.

I love my Apex. It has simplified everything so much!

With Kids there's no way I could keep a tank without the Apex.

THE best purchase I've made for the tank.

Definitely a controller is one thing everyone should have.

Everyone has their own preference.
