Food safe plastics in the tank???

[bayst]

Does anyone know if any/all food safe plastics will be safe in an aquarium? I'm specifically thinking of the black disposable plastic containers that are often used for take out. I think they are a cheaper grade of plastic, but still sturdy enough, and the black is a plus. (I'm making an egg trap.)

Any advice or input on tank safe plastics?

thx!

I dont see any reason why they would not be. My only concern would be that these are disposable and my not hold up very well.

Here is a link with some examples that are similar. There are four shown that have the black plastic bottom piece and a clear lid.

The one I am thinking of using is a little sturdier looking than the pictured ones.

Does anyone know about plastic garden pots and saucers in the tank?

I'm pretty sure itll be ok if they're new.

I use the ceramic pots and saucers all the time. Never tried the plastic ones...

Looks okay to me.
