Can U Use Big Plastic Tub As My Sump

[Duzzy]

Hi there,

I was wondering if I can use a big plastic tub as my sump? with the price of glass even second hand I was wondering if this can be a successful option? also can I paint pvc black using (if it exists) aquarium safe paint?

Regards Darren

yes and yes, done both. I did a DIY sump and painted the PVC overflows...

as far as the paint goes, look for Krylon Fusion.
