futureeyedoc Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm working on a 33 long with 2 pvc "overflows" ( the type where the tank is drilled for 1+" PVC and then you put the 90 inside the tank. Anyways, I'm going to put a black background and don't want the white PVC 90's in the inside of the tank sticking out like a sore thumb. Is there specific black paint I should be using that'd be safe in a reef tank? I haven't started filling the tank yet so it can have as long as it needs to dry/cure properly. I have some actual PVC/Plastics black spray paint but I don't know what that might release into the water over time????? THANKS! Link to comment
jeremai Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Most use Krylon Fusion, but in my experience the snails (and tangs) will scrape it all off anyway, to no apparent detriment. Link to comment
masterbuilder Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Krylon Plasti-Kote is about your only choice (its reef safe). However, there is black PVC. You will prob have to order it online, its almost impossible to find locally. http://www.savko.com/ or Just use grey PVC that can be found anywhere. Link to comment
