I wouldn'tworry about painting anything. Instead try placing something that maycover it around the epoxy. Maybe mushrooms would do the trick.<br><br>Jeff<br>]]>

Both of these are&nbsp;completely safe for marine fish and invertebrates. The&nbsp;claim by a manufaturer that&nbsp;a product&nbsp;is&nbsp;"aquarium safe" cannot be trusted at face value. Most aquariums are freshwater and do not house marine invertebrates or marine algae. Can you tell us more detail about this aquarium safe glue. Full name, manufacturer etc.&nbsp;I know of a marine paint that claims to be good, but it can also flake off of some surfaces. I am with the rest. I&nbsp;would never put paint into my reef aquarium. There is a painted plywood tank in our midst. Perhaps Keodog will chime in here.</FONT></P><P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2>Please forgive me for writing this. I don't want to offend you, but it&nbsp;appears&nbsp;to me, after reading your other&nbsp;topics, that&nbsp;you have done some things a little differently. This <EM>could</EM> lead to later problems with keeping things alive. I am pleased that you are asking questions here. I believe that you&nbsp;may benefit&nbsp;from asking us what to do next, before you do things,&nbsp;if you want to avoid&nbsp;something that costs needless&nbsp;money and even organism death. </FONT></P><P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=2>No one else cares quite like we do. They don't have the time. See my signature line below.</FONT></P><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Mark Peterson</span>]]>
