Honestly i have rigid tubing and when trying to assemble them it just gets annoying. having tubes that flex at your will is much easier]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:45:19 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42293&PID=367982&title=rigid-pvc-vs-spa-flex#367982 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42293&PID=367976&title=rigid-pvc-vs-spa-flex#367976 Author: Shayne

I'm thinking about using spa flex for the first 10" or so on my return and then switching to PVC for the rest. (I already have my PVC and it works better for my plans so far.)

Agreed on Spa Flex. I have it run to my return and would not use rigid again. Soooo convenient. Plus who really is looking at your plumbing under your tank? They SHOULD be looking at all the awesome coral and fish!

Where do you pick up spa flex?]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:53:53 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42293&PID=367952&title=rigid-pvc-vs-spa-flex#367952 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42293&PID=367951&title=rigid-pvc-vs-spa-flex#367951 Author: Jeremyw

I LOVE LOVE LOVE spa/flex. I did several tanks with the rigid stuff and will never again. The ease of being able to move my tubes if I need to is NICE!

So I am trying to get my return run tonight so I can fill my tank up tomorrow night, but I am still trying to get the layout figured out.


Can anyone tell me if I run rigid 3/4" PVC to both of my returns using a Mag 7, if I will run into any problems? I suppose I could use flex tubing of some sort, but I really like the clean look of the rigid PVC

Yellow = 90 degree angle
Blue = Straight PVC
Green = 45 degree angle
Grey = T
