My thoughts on this matter is simply avoid chemicals such as varnish and paints if you have plecos. Plecos tend to rasp on anything so avoid chemical tainted products for their sake.

You have choice of yellow PVC (electrical), blue for water and HDPE for black. I have seen white on this site. And concrete ... these are all pipes

This sufficient range of color, ey?

I am usually apprehensive of using colored things in my tanks unless i know it is naturally colored that way...

This is to the glass/acrylic back of the aquarium not inside(that's been my understanding).
