I'm getting ready to make a really cool tunnel system for my eel. I'm struggling to finding and understanding exactly what type of pvc pipe. I would like to have the pvc pipe in black. I've seen that there is furniture great pvc pipe. Can I use that type of pipe?

You can't make furniture out of an eel, but you can use PVC pipe without much concern, from my experience. Never saw any issues with PVC in a fish tank, or a reef tank other than it doesn't look like coral, ime. :face-with-hand-over-mouth: :face-with-hand-over-mouth::smiling-face-with-sunglasses:

Looking on line, it's PVC withouth any stamps on it, which should make it safer if anything than regular plumbing pipe.

Just the black pvc you get from the hardware store, I can't remember if I got mine from lowes or home depot.
