GiantBen Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 How much paint? Where did the paint go? I would be worried for sure. I'm not sure that the "no leaching" properties take place until it is dried. I'd be most worried about something eating it. Water changes, carbon cross fingers. Link to comment
jbb Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I had some of my internal plumbing painted with krylon fusion and it was in my tank for about 8 months with no ill effects. I think you will be fine Link to comment

I think you will be fine I'd imagine that was after it dried, as was mine on my old overflow. While it's wet, I'd imagine not so safe. Link to comment
picotank99 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 most of it is on the surface of the of the water it was still wet Link to comment
jbb Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 OH I didnt realize the tank was running when painted. Yeah thats no ueno . Carbon and try to clean the surface by laying a paper towel on the top of the water like some do to remove the surface film. Also it may not be a bad idea to have some WC water ready just in case. Good luck and sorry for the confusion. Link to comment
Ibnzmonkey Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Wait. Krylon fusion can be used for in-tank plumbing? If so I may use it to make everything black so it blends in with the background. Link to comment
