you erradicate corners with hose, hence greater turnover rate for pumps

ok, i've reasoned with myself why arcrlic is better than glass, but I need
help with pvc pipe vs pvc hose...I'm guessing pipe has longer life? and
easier to put ball valves and stuff on it? I dunno,
I'm getting ideas flying by me about sumps but the basic layout will be
easy, but just got complicated on where I'm going to put my refuge...my
sump
is going to have to be a 2 piecer because I'm afraid of taking out the
style..my stand will probably collapse..
anyways, my sump will be like the one on marc's 29g but split in 2 because
my stand doesn't permit it being a 1 piecer..
can someone let me know about the pvc hose vs pipe. 
thanks, John.
