What are you using to paint the pvc? I have mostly black plastic, but my spraybar will be white and I want it black...
I'm using sweetwater epoxy paint that I have left. I want it to match the rest of the tank.
Just an update, the spraybar and drains are getting painted today, the filter has been running for several days.

It's running!!!!!!!!!!
I have someone coming over tonight to put in the strainer on the low drain, it's about 2.5' down (she has to go swimming).
She's also going to spread out the gravel because it's all in one corner right now. I would do it myself, but last time I went in, I almost didn't get out (to much beer maybe?). It took a day or so to get clear due to the home depot gravel. It's still not perfectly clear, but close, until she spreads it out tonight that is (the gravel
). I'm just waiting to run the outlets and a dedicated circuit,(probably tomorrow or Thursday), but the pump and lights are on, just no heaters yet (ran out of outlets and didn't want to add 1050 watts to an already strained outlet). Hope to put the first fish in next week. Sorry, no pics, the camera is still lent out. I'll put some up when I get it back.

This sucks, I just went to take a shower not thinking that I just dumped all the hot water in the tank. I think it was worth it.
