Thanks Mike,

But I make a mistake , I was talking About ABS.
I am completely agree with you about the quarantine tanks , it is the beauty
, the important things is the function.

Nice idea for the Bamboo, but I really don?t know where I will find this
bamboo here in Canada :)

Thanks anyway :)

I assume you mean PBC (Poly Butyl Chloride) when you say "black PVC". No,
I've
not tried using PBC. It is a bit more expensive than PVC, but more important
PVC
has had a long history of being used with aquarium fish without questions of
toxicity. I don't know the effects of PBC on fish (probably none) but plan
to
use the old 'tried & true' PVC. Since a quarantine tank is designed for
function, not beauty, white PVC pipe works just fine for me. I use lengths
of
bamboo in some of my breeding tanks instead of plastic pipe, however.
