after chris's post about hard plumbing his fluval i got to thinking. well i was going to go with pvc painted black and don't have all the fittings in my garage. what i do have is a ton of copper scrap. so here's my questions, first would the solder hurt the turtle? lead free of course and i'd clean the pipe before putting it in. i'm also unsue of weather to use 1/2" or 3/4" my hoses are 5/8" i.d. and i'm using a xp3. i'm thinking bigger would be better as long as i didn't loose to much power on the intake or outflow. thank you.
