For sure a great looking overflow but I agree with making sure it does not leach anything into saltwater. May be designed for fresh only?

Perhaps it can be sealed by whatever method others use to make styro backgrounds? I have seen some threads on here with it being used and on RC for sure.

Hmm, it doesn't say it's specific for fresh or salt water..

I read epoxy or fiberglass resin can seal it. But where do I find those?

Well.. found that cold cure epoxy resin should do the job. Industrial plastic & paints sells it.
I'll be taking the background down to apply a coat of that, then add a piece of glass in the back to make sure the pressure doesn't break it.
