Boy, I'm glad someone listens to me on facebook when I answer to when someone asks me where to get flex PVC Western Pump! Western Pump! Western Pump! Spaflex = flex PVC.

My feelings are all hurt now! (j/k btw. )

So does anyone pig their plumbing? How are people cleaning their plumbing right now? One thing I want to try and do is make sure that everything is accessible, and replaceable in sections just in case there is a plug, or through normal wear and tear.

I don't think there's any real need to pig plumbing for a tank. You won't really get wear and tear on plumbing nor should you expect blockages if you design it well enough (eg. minimize 90's and use strainers on intakes) but the insides of pipe get a good slime coat inside. If you wanted to clean this out on regular intervals just use enough unions in the pipe so that you can get access for a pipe cleaner and scrub away.
