  There is a special coating that you put on decorations not meant for aquariums that will prevent any chemicals from leaking into the water.

  Not much. Unless the aquarium is outside, plastic is quite stable.

      Plastic is pretty stable. Since this is an aquarium it isn’t get direct sunlight at a rate to make the plastic degrade to the point of polluting the water.

      Also, since it’s an aquarium, the are already many kinds of plastics involved. The pumps, tubing, filters, and so on all contain plastic that would have a heater likelihood of degrade sure to mechanical action.

        that does make sense, though I just assumed that those would be made with proper precautions/use suitable plastics

        wasn’t sure whether 3d printed filament is on the same lvl in terms of that, hence my original comment
