Yup. You can use it. Just clean it in hot water before putting in into the aquarium. I had a whole tunnel thing going on once for my fish with those tubes...the best part? They're clear so you can see your fish, but they think they're hiding. Pretty sneaky, huh? Just like the little hamster guys. I think [acronym:0e47bce619="Plastic pipe"]PVC[/acronym:0e47bce619] pipe is a good idea, and although I haven't used it yet in a tank setting, I've heard you can buy silicone and paste decorations on there so it isn't so plain and it matches the interior of the tank...wow...kind of like a decorator!!! That's cool.
