I want to paint a coupe of pieces of PVC tube to put in my tank bu I need to know what is a safe paint to do this with. I have some black acrylic paint that I painted the outside of the tank with. But I do not know if that is safe for the decor in the inside. I did a search for marine safe paint. And I didn't come up withanything helpfull. Can anyone tell me what kind of paint I can use for the decor of the INSIDE of the tank. That is not harmful to any of the fish inside. and will not adversly affect the water chemisty.


Any brand name paints or links to sites with aquarium paint will be very nice.
 
I know I can get krylon anywhere about. As long as the can says something along the lines of water resistant or aquarium safe sounds good.

For some reason, I find the "aquarium safe" post funny. Of course it will be good for aquarium, it says it right there...:nilly::nilly::nilly:

Krylon paint indeed.
 
Any paint formulated for outdoor plastics is ok for painting PVC. Pealing and blistering are another story. Read the instructions and follow them; you won't have any issues.
