Anybody know where I can get rigid black PVC pipe. I want to make my own spray bar. My acrylic tank has a black background nad the overflows are also black, so I want to pipe to blend. ALternatively, is it possilbe to dye white PVC black? Would the dye leach into the water over time?

Thanks

It's in the plumbing section. What you're looking for is a PVC riser, and also an tube cap to close it off. If your return from your filter/sump is done via tubing, you will want a barbed pvc connector to connect the pvc spraybar to the tubing return. Don't forget to get some teflon tape, use about 8-10 turns on the piping. You can go to Homedepot.com and search for "pvc riser".

I need to bring the return line from the top of the overflows to the bottom back area. I don't care what the actual spray bar looks like but the pipe and fittings going from the front of the overflow down to the bottom of the overflow is very visible.
