Ive got this pvc which i was hoping to make a few caves in my dempsey tank as i dont have many pieces of driftwood large enough for them to hide in and im curious as to wether or not they would be safe for tank use. the green is labeled sewer and has a slight odor when cut and the white is labeled drain. i would mostly like to use the green if possible. thanks for your help.

I've used regular white PVC tubes in tanks all the time...very effective for making hidey holes for bottom fish
 
Treat the green PVC very thoroughly with boiling hot water and vinegar. After a very good soaking, it is probably ok to add.
