    I use a combination of spa flex and hard plumbing. The spa flex absorbs the vibrations off the pumps and provides some flex and play to the plumbing. The nice thing about spa flex is its compatable with all the standard PVC fittings and glues. Makes transitioning between flex and rigid very easy.


    Unions are your friend when plumbing a reef tank. And if you're installing any valves I highly suggest a good quality true union ball valve. They are expensive, but worth the price IMO.
