gotcha, sweet! thanks guys...better to ask first then be disappointed with a lot of dead fish! my plans changed from the morning till now...i want to re-plumb my fx5, but instead of getting regular white pvc piping, i'm going to get that dark gray electrical conduit piping and just spray paint the elbows/end caps black (since they aren't made in dk gray) versus spray painting the spray bar/intake bar/elbows...what do you think?
