I'm testing a coating to prevent coralline algae growth. The end pane of glass on the right has been coated and the power head on the left is coated.

It took a while to get my chemists to coat the stuff and then a couple weeks for the tank builder to do his thing too. But better late than never

Sweet! That would be the bomb!!! Is this a coating that could be sold and painted on by hobbyists or is it something that would have to be factory done?

I'm pretty hopeful about it But it won't be something an end user can apply themselves. It has to be chemically bonded to the materials under specific conditions. So factory done only at this point.
