Faux sandbed test...

There is also a two part high gloss clear epoxy in the craft section of Rona called Nu-Lustre 55 that works very well. I never did test it in the tank although some users of Reef Central have used it.

ya this stuff is 2 part as well, says it does 30sq feet, but mixing it with sand i can see it doing more then a 90 gal tank..if that

I remember that happening to a guy either on here or reefcentral, I can't remember...it was a big tank too...like 300+ gallons big. and the bottom just shattered.

i believe that tank cracked due to, in part, lack of support for the bottom pane and hole placements for the overflow. nobody else ever had it cracked
