Good evening every one I am starting my 240 and have came across a product on eBay that I think might work sealing my tank with but I am not sure if it is fish safe. Can any one tell me if it will work. And if it will work how many gallons will I need to complete my project.
The product is called:Poxy Coat II- Paint Epoxy Single Stage Coating - 1 Gallon viewable on eBay


Poxy Coat is a one component protective coating consisting of epoxy ester and silicone alkyd resins allowing for maximum adhesion and hardness. No baking or mixing of two parts. Poxy Coat produces an armor-hard, flexible, waterproof coating.


Poxy Coat is economical because it will cover up to 400-700 sq. ft. per gallon - three times more than most paints, and in most instances Poxy Coat requires only one coat.


It permanently seals roof and basement leaks easily. Poxy Coat coatings cover, renew, protect and seal. Guaranteed to resist cracking, peeling, or chipping for up to 10 full years. Apply over vinyl, asphalt tiles or on wood, flagstone or concrete surfaces.


Poxy Coat is beautiful. It comes in a range of decorator colors in addition to two clear finishes.


Use it where you would use any paint. It flows on smoothly and evenly, shows no brush marks and gives an attractive, lustrous finish. No awful paint-y odor either.


Poxy Coat meets USDA specifications, ideal for packing houses, food processing plants, grain elevators, storage bins, spreaders and anhydrous tanks.


One application-no mixing or measuring


Poxy Coat, industrially proven for many years, is now available for commercial and farm use. It may be applied with a brush, roller or spray gun.


Poxy Coat increases the life of a structure by shielding it form the weather. It also refelcts heat so that ineterior temperatures can be reduced by 15 to 20 percent. Ideal for farm, dairy and hospital application.


Poxy Coat revitalizes old roofing areas, seals nail holes, and provides a seamless surface that expands and contracts with weather changes. It is especially formulated to coat all metal and masonry surfaces to prevent rusting or deterioration.


Use Poxy Coat on wood:


Gives a tough, pliable weather resistant finish on all interior and exterior wood products. Ideal on boats, decks, benches, furniture, houses, shingles, trim, gutters, etc. Shields out most mosture, prevents rot and repels hail.


Use Poxy Coat on Masonry:


This amazingly flexible finish forms a non-penetrating coat that resists water, acids, grease, and abrasion. Use on basements, walks, walls, steps, driveways, grain bins, silos, implements, etc.


Use Poxy Coat on Metal:


Resists rust and corrosion. Ideal on all exterior and interor metal surfaces. Use on boats, trailers, outdoor funiture, machinery, equipment, tanks, pipes, fences, water tanks, hangars, photographic equipment. Super adhesion often witout primers. Use "Prime Time" for maximum adhesion on steel surfaces.


Use Poxy Coat on Fiberglass:


For boats, appliances, etc. Actually puts a new plastic-like finish on any surface above the water line.


Adhesion: Poxy Coat sticks to metal, plastic, wood, rubber, glass, leather, canvas, ceramic tile, concrete and paper.


Acid Resistance: resists saltwater, corrosion, mildew, many acids, oils and greases. Non-toxic when dry. Meets USDA and FDA regulations. Temperature resistance -50F to 1000F after total cure. GSA-SS-001100(FSS). Meets many GSA specifications.


Color Retention: Poxy Colors make smooth, easy-to-clean coatings and provide the beauty of long lasting color.


Flexibility: Steel test panels break under repeated flexing before any sign of cracking, peeling, or loss of adhesion is noted on the Poxy Coat coated surfaces.


Impact-Abrasion resistance: Even a severe wallop of 495 psi will not break the tough membrane skin of Poxy Coat.


Easy Application: you can brush, roller coat, flow coat, dip or spray Poxy Coat. Poxy Coat and Poxy Clear finishes dry to touch in 2-3 hours. Poxy Seal dries to the touch in 15 minutes.


The durable enamel-like finish and long-lasting color make Poxy Coat® Color Coating ideal for interior hard use, such as floor traffic and abrasion or exterior areas exposed to harsh climate conditions. It gives you a beautiful smooth, easy-to-clean finish. A catalyst for Poxy Coat® Colors and Clear. When added to these products, PC Catalyst will speed up the drying and curing time and will increase the gloss, hardness, and abrasion and corrosion resistance.

I have heard the same thing about pound armor. And being in the military my tank may get moved a lot with the stress fractures may start to leek. But thanks for the advise
 
It would have stress fractures from the moving. Unless you reapply a new coat with each move I would think it would be safe. Which I would do to be on the safe side.
