Default Black or White?

ok I went to home depot and a couple other places today and I asked about this to conferm what I was going to post befor I posted it :D

ABS is not meant to take substantial heat or pressure, while PVC is. For a typical home aquarium, ABS is not a problem.

I have never heard of antibacterial properties in abs but who knows and when I asked my buddy who works at a plumming supply wharehouse he just looked at me like I was crazy. [img]smile.gif[/img]

if you are still concerned there IS a black PVC also and it comes in potable nd non-potable grades.
