Your an artist! A background changes the whole look of the tank!

Can you give me a list of materials that you used? I tried it once before (you can probably still find the thread) and it ended up being a disaster. I used the wrong cement, no fiberglass, no epoxy, and no time. But I really want to retry (on a smaller scale, maybe just a 10 or 20g) and see if i can make something "living room worthy"

I'm gonna throw in my 2 cents for all of you using paint taht you are unsure of how safe for fish it is. If you cover the paint with resin or epoxy any uncovered resin or epoxy will break down with exposed to sunlight. Sometimes the fiberglass may even turn yellow in the long run. Once the resin breaks down it will expose what ever is behind it releasing toxins in the water. Think of when you see and older import tuner car and the carbonfiber hood usally it looks yellow and flakey most times thats not a clear coat thats resin breaking down.
