krylon is a brand of paint designed to bond to plastic and has been used in countless reef tanks... just make sure you dry it thouroghly before you put it in the tank. you can get it at any home despot.

Thanks for the info! i will either do that or find a black 1" elbow

I would be easier to find the paint. You could just run a lower waterline for a day while you let the paint dry, or i can make a separate drain and you can paint it black.

Im just gonna use the one i got and paint it. It wont be to terribly difficult

K by removing it im not sure where ittl put the water line. Better just turn the skimmer and return pump off before hand.

a 1" elbow is about what a dollar or less?? Just go buy one, paint it, let it dry and swap out the white one. Nice build.

Krylon Fusion for Plastics is the paint you want to use on it.

My sump is actually the same exact tank as my display. I got it at the dollar gallon sale from Petco. I have a 1in bulkhead for my safety and two 3/4 inch bulkheads for my return and other drain. I use a Rio 8hf for my return which pushes about 550 GPH @ 1ft!
