That is very slick!

I'm going to leave things as they are unless I discover I need more flow in both tanks which I doubt I will. If that's the case I'll shell-out for some more sch80 and try and fit a saw in there somehow. Trust me I'd like to but I'd ALSO like to get salt water in here sometime soon haha.

Thanks!

Aw man, Brett. Don't tell me you plumbed your whole tank using saw. PVC cutters are one of the best things that ever got invented. Just go in there and snip - and it's cut. They are under $20 too. Well.....by the time saltwater is in there it all becomes "white" noise anyway. Get some salt in there!

Haha I use a hacksaw. Can these do sch80 by hand? If so I may NEED them!

Yeah, they cut through like butter. They aren't meant for 1 1/2" pipe but I use them anyway. Just gotta get the initial cut, then rotate about 1/8 to 1/4 turn, and then through like butter. I could not imagine hacksawing everything. The pvc cutters give a clean cut without any burrs as well.

+1 for PVC cutters. They're regularly on sale at Princess Auto.
