Dan,
Where did you find an 8 inch diameter G10 tube? I have never seen any larger 
than 
2 inches. Eight inch diameter will be very heavy. You will find it difficult 
to adjust the coupling by raising and lowering the secondary and you will be 
much better off
with acrylic for much less money, or pvc for an even lower cost.

Happy day,
