Ames Research will not guarantee Blue Max to be fish safe.

I used Permadri Rubber Coat on my build and am currently fighting leak issues.

VLDesign and JohnG who have built tanks with my stacked dimensional lumber design have both experienced great success with Max ACR epoxy resin. I'm about to use Max ACR over my existing coating to finish my tank. JohnG's second build http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...15713-7-x12-1400-Gallon-Plywood-Stingray-Pond is the cleanest build I've seen. I'd suggest you look all both of their builds and mine and ask a lot of questions before cutting the first board.

Liquid rubber coatings are great, but I think they must have a flawless underlying structure to work effectively.
