    will these be a good choice for NFT

    i have access to a couple of these
    http://www.homedepot.com/Building-Mater ... ogId=10053
    # Triple wall construction provides superior beam strength
    # Made fro corrosion and abrasion resistant high density polyethylene


    what do you guys think are they safe for fish and food?

    I know i can get cheap rainspouts but i want to avoid vinyl and PVC as much as i can.
    thanks

    Hi Urbanrunoff, Polyethylene is supposed to be better then PVC. I would think they'd be better then the rainspout you mentioned.
    Home depot in my area, doesn't carry this, at least they don't show it on-line.

    what's nice about them is that they are very light compared to the PVC pipes.
    anyways, for now i have to make sure my system cycles before adding anything
