Anybody use that 'speckle/textured' spray paint for a background?

[ShroomMastap]

I didn't use it for a background, but i did use it for a piece in my one tank. I scuffed up a 1/4th piece of pvc and painted it with that paint, let it dry over night and stuck it in the water and it started rubbing off... so i took it out, repainted it and then applied a clear coat after letting it dry and hav'nt had any more trouble been under water about 8 months now.

Nice! that does look really good. I'll need to practice on some old tanks I have laying around. Thanks!

Now we just need some background pics

The pvc is bottom right making a sort of tunnel in the front of the tank the cichlids actually use all the time.

I really like the textured paint on the bottom of the tank. If you want to go bare bottom, that seems like the way to go.

I might include this as all my tanks are BB

Has anyone painted the inside with Dryloc? Or just the bottom.
I'm wondering how well it sticks to glass.
