We are starting to look at plumbing for our 80g. We’ve looked at BRS plumbing but what is your go to plumbing for your new builds?

Home Depot schedule 40
BRS colored schedule 80 PVC with gray pipe fittings. Spears for check-valves and 1/4 turn ball valves. Oatey Fusion - one-step PVC cement (with an organic vapor respirator mask, this stuff means business). If you need many of the same fittings like 90s, reducers etc. they are often cheaper in bulk: Supplyhouse.com
Home Depot for pipes and bends schedule 40, Amazon and BRS for valves and fancier schedule 80, and other specialty plumbing sites online for obscure stuff, Premiere LFS for covers and other stuff when you can’t wait, Pure Reef also sells parts further north. Other lfs probably have stuff too but you would need to check. There are really cool colored pipes people use when they treat the plumbing as a feature. We have a basement sump and fishroom, so schedule 40 white works fine for us.
