What epoxy to use for DIY 3D background? - Aquarium Advice

Okay... with this whole DIY background... I've got it all figured out. The pieces fit, concrete is on, have sillicone sealant ready... have read up on everything...

but I have NO idea what epoxy resin to use. Can anyone post pictures or link to me to a suggested product? I've gone to like Home Depot/Menards and tried to ask around but they had no idea.
