|  Reef Safe Paint I was wondering if there is a paint that I could use to paint my stand pipes that would be reef safe..  I went with tinted acrylic on my overflow, but I don't think its gonna be as dark as I would like. so wanted to painted the stand pipes black to blend in with the back pane of glass, which will be black as well.

|   I have used kryon fusion in my tank before as many have with no problems. The only thing I found is that over time if its IN the tank, it starts to chip off. |

|   rylon Fusion would be best for pvc, but still have my doubts of it being completely reef-safe. Personally I don't think it would stand up over time.. but I could be wrong

|   If you use two part epoxy paint it is safe.  I made a few plywood tanks out of it and it worked great.  Make sure to use it outdoors with excellent ventilation. |
