Muck, the Fabco plastic listed in the Calgary book is from Edmonton,
so when I have more time I'll order some up from them. I guess I'll try some other plastic places in town in the mean time.
thanks alot!
Dave

Hey Dave,

You can try Plumbateria 4203 Brandon St. S.E. (just off of 42nd Ave, East of Macleod) they often have some dark grey PVC in there.

A company in the US named "Spear" makes sch. 40 pvc in grey, which is why you often get it in equipment shipped up from the US. My Euroreef skimmer has all grey PVC components.

If you know anyone in the US or someone going down south it is pretty widely available in most of the home improvement retailers down there.

HTH

I know a place out here already has the grey Schedual 40 PVC fittings but they say it is going to be a while for the pipe
