Bar code on pvc

Rubbed it with alcohol and it doesn't run or come off at all, is it safe to use in a false bottom?

Yes it will not be a problem. If you are really worried about it you can just get some light sand paper and sand it off. Should come right off for you.

Make sure you post a construction journal!!!

Yeah I definitely will, it's the tank I posted in the Naturalistic Design thread. Do they embed those barcodes in the pvc or something?

I'm pretty sure the bar code and other markings on PVC pipe are printed with a special ink. Taking it off with an abrasive, like sandpaper, is the safest bet.
