Hello all! I have a 29 gallon tank with one mean little cichlid in it right now. I'm getting a larger tank soon and a few more cichlids. I know they need lots of hiding spots and I'm looking at some thing online. Now I have a few things already but they either started flaking or smelling funky so I removed them from the tank, changed the water, ect. I was rather fond of one of them though, a replica mangrove root. It had holes in the bottom roots and that seemed to be the source of the funky smell. I was thinking of plugging the holes with clay and coating it with resin so I could use it again. I cant seem to find much info on aquarium safe resin or if it's even something I should do. Any insight or experience would be welcome!! Thanks!
