New tank to set up

[severum mama]

Krylon spray paint works well. It worked well. Just make sure to tap everything off well before spraying. Your doing this indoors or outside?

I agree with Krylon for sure. I've cheaped out in the past once or twice and regretted it. I ended up with crappy coverage and some of it bubbled up off the glass. I use Krylon Fusion, but I don't have any experience with the other Krylon varieties.

When you get ready to paint, tape some newspaper onto the sides and over the top. That will help you keep the paint where you actually want it to go. LOL. Always use lots of thin coats and wait for them to dry completely in between. Thick coats of paint tend to not look as good. Just take your time and you'll do fine.

I found krylon but no krylon fusion. It says it's good on glass though...

I can start working on that once this massive storm goes away. Not going to use spray paint in the house. That's asking for trouble.

Hang in there. Hope you don't even loose power. We take it for granted the adverse weather conditions in other regions. At worse we get an earthquake once every long while. But not the relentless battering some of the country takes. Good luck.

I don't think it says on the bag "safe for aquariums" this is the quickrete one most of us use. Sorry if you already covered this and for coming in late. Anyways home depot carry the same one and on there page for this bag it says aquarium safe but not on lowes.
