I've never tried it, I've always ordered my colored PVC from Bulk Reef Supply which I believe is SCH 40 PVC Painted in nearly any color needed.

The stuff from home depot is sched 40 also and comes in all the same colors as brs but is half the price and ships free to the store. So you save $11.00 dollars just on one pipe. I imagine its the exact same stuff.

I just called brs and asked them if their colored pvc is NSF rated and they said no. Its the firniture grade. So its the same thing.
What a savings though !

I found this a couple weeks ago and picked up some from home Depot since BRS didn't have plain white. It looks and feels the same as the red pvc I got from BRS, but I have not used it yet.

clear would promote algae growth, i thinks maybe a bad idea.
