Uggg even from Amazon it looks like it will take more than a week to get here.....

Well that's just unacceptable. And krylon still works you just have to prep the PVC by cleaning and drying it. Before you could just spray and go, I think they use less adhesives in the new formula. And spray paint is good to go in 48 hours...

It comes off if you scrape it with your nail after a week of curing. The whole point of fusion was to fuse with the plastic - it doesn't seem to do that anymore.

Interesting. Used it a year ago and it was hard as a rock the next day.

Looks like I'm going to cave in and get it from CoralVue. Fastest ship time and it's already grey. I also really want to get it by Friday so I can plumb the tank next weekend.

Did the Waterbox (setup), not come with all the parts to plump it?

Or are you plumbing it in an different manner?

I am running it to my basement. Yes it comes with everything to have the sump under the tank. The 90 was plumbed to the basement when I set it up. The convenience of it is too much not to utilize. I was trying to use existing 1.5" drains and 1" return pipes. Just going to take some intricate plumbing of elbows and adapters. I am kinda shocked at the size of the drain they put in it. It only 32mm drains and 25mm return going into even smaller locline, maybe 17mm?
