Painting PVC -- Can I ??

[ej1698]

hello everyone,

Just needed some advice on this... My intake and return pvc pipes inside my 90 gallon [built in overflow] are white and stick out like a sore thumb and was wondering if I would be able to spray paint them black. No fish will be able to pick at the pipes since it's in my overflow so I thought it would be fine.... And what kind of spray paint can i use.

Thanks for the help

I have two PVC pipes in my tank spray painted green. Haven't had any problems. The loaches sometimes sit on them, sometimes hide behind them.

You could also try ABS, which is black to begin with (and is fine for aquarium use).

black rit liquid dye works great and no chance of chipping
