Painting Pvc...can I ???

[ej1698]

hello everyone,

Just needed some advice on this... My intake and return pvc pipes inside my 90 gallon [built in overflow] are white and stick out like a sore thumb and was wondering if I would be able to spray paint them black. No fish will be able to pick at the pipes since it's in my overflow so I thought it would be fine.... And what kind of spray paint can i use.

Thanks for the help

You can rit dye them instead, the liquid rit works much better.

Fabric dye in the laundry section of any decent sized grocery store.

I'm not sure if I'd put a dyed pipe in my reef. Can't you wait for coralline to cover it?

Yup, just wait for coralline or attach some green star polyp and watch your "aqua-lawn" grow everywhere.
