I have some PVC board That I was thinking of using for baffles in a sump. I think it is safe but thought I would see if anyone thinks otherwise.
 
Absolutely, its reef safe. POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC) is what most of us use for piping our tanks. The board is made of the exact material as the pipe.
 
My LFS store uses pvc sheeting in the coral tank. They have it drilled with 1/2" holes for the frag plugs to sit in. So much easier to keep clean over egg crate.
 
Good to know I just wanted to make sure the name wasn't deceptive in some way like it was a different material than PVC pipe. I think I will able to make good use of a 4/8 sheet I bought a few months ago.
