where is the best place do buy everything to plumb a tank for a sump? i was going to home depot but i was wondering if a supplier offered a setup or kit that "looks" better than a DIY

Just go to Home Depot. Everyone's plumbing is different... different sump arrangement, different stand height, different overflow location... all of these things affect how your plumbing is run. You would be better off building your own. I love working with PVC, it's like LEGOS for adults!

Well, Home Depot is your best bet because it's local and cheap. And if you take your time and plan accordingly you can do a pretty good job.

But IMO, if you want to go top shelf on your plumbing take a gander at www.usplastic.com or www.savko.com because they have pvc in gray as well as in black. They even have some trick stuff that HD doesn't sell.

Personally, I think nothing looks slicker than plumbing your tank with all gray pipe, ball valves and fittings.

Then again, it all depends on how much $$$ you want to invest in your plumbing.
