    So I am making a DIY overflow system to connect to a sump in doing as we'll and I would like to know if there is any type of paint to use for my PVC lines. A small portion of the pipes will be submerged and I want to know what kind to use.

    I'm just not a huge fan of the white....

    its proven to be the paint reefers use.

    I dont know that any paint company has tested their product to ensure that it is aquarium safe and wont leach.
