i'm doing a mod to mount tunzes to wavy seas and i was wondering if this paint is 100% safe for reef tanks. i'm doing the same idea as fudge with his mounting idea but i was thinking of painting the pvc coupling.

cool. i'm not saying i dont believe you by any means but where is the info to prove it. i've tried searching but find nothing. i found that people have been using it the past little while but no definitive information

Many have used it for many years...

My 65 is full of pvc painted in krylon epoxy enamel (built a manifold for the return). Been running just fine since 05...

You wont find any statistical data - krylon has no interest in marketing for aquarium use... Heck you can't even get silicone that doesn't say "not for aquariums" anymore.

Where can buy find Krylon paint? I purchased it from Home Depot in the past but they stopped carrying it.

Should be found at rona, canadian tire, walmart among many others... Not particularly hard to find.

So this stuff is safe to use on stuff submerged in the tank?

i should have clarified like tarolisol. i wanted to submerge the parts that i paint with this.
