Lol very good points made. I love to use gate valves when I can and when in stock.
In my 10 years doing pluming and fish tank stuff I’ve never had a pvc manifold leak or ball valve leak. I have had cpvc ball valve stems leak,
Just a side note I wish we could do are tanks in copper or stainless. I’m also finishing up classes on glass plumbing for chemical labs
Sorry to going on so much lol
