madmark285 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Painting PVC is always an issue. I painted my DIY skimmer box using Krylon Fusion spray paint. After 2 years, the paint would have just peeled off if I attempted to clean the skimmer, I just left it be. Staining PVC is the prefered option, it is permanent and will never peel off. The concern here, the Rekhaoil Dyes are a petroleum product and may harm the fish long term. Any opinions? FYI, to stain PVC, add the dye to clear PVC pipe cleaner and just brush it on. Quite easy.

Pepere Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 What color do you want your pvc to be? are you aware pvc pipe and fittings are available in clear and black in addition to white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmark285 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I want my skimmer box to be black. Bulk reef supply sells blue Schedule 40 pipe, that most likely has been stained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
