Has anyone ever used flexible PVC with success in an aquarium? I've never used it so investigating.
It would simplify my overflow plumbing but I am not sure if it would be a good choice as it doesn't pass nsf-61. I also like the idea of it for absorbing some vibration.
Here is an excerpt from flexpvc.com - they do state it passes nsf-51:
The flexible pvc pipe can not get an NSF61 rating because if water sits in the pipe overnight, it will pickup a plastic taste and in order to get an NSF61 rating, it can't alter the taste (that's one of the criteria.)
