Default Black or White?

Hi,

Actually, it is true that not all PVC is potable either. Its true that HD ABS is not usually used in carrying potable water. ABS in general is fine, but ABS designed for drainage pipes (i.e. the ones from HD) are not as safe. Nobody really knows what the antibacterial will do to a reef tank. I guess I got lucky.

But it makes you wonder though....if we are pumping our waste water through ABS (with the antibacterial stuff), won't that mean that the antibacterial would eventually end up in our oceans....
