Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi all,
I'm just about finished with my DIY Canopy. I've got some pics on my web site, and will do instructions if anyone wants when it's finished.
I framed it with 2x2's, and faced it with oak and some trim. Sealed the outside with Poly and will put a couple coats of gloss on, it should be super sweet when it's done!
My question - what should I seal the inside with? I'm going to be running about 200 watts of lights in there to grow live plants, so it's going to be very humid with the evaporation.
My goals are:
- seal the wood canopy so it doesn't rot.
- minimize chemical exposure for my fish and plants.
I've debated the following:
- poly
- some kind of deck sealant?
- contact paper or similar with silicone in the corners
I'm open to ideas. Thanks!
