Ok so I have done some research and started putting together a rock wall out of Styrofoam and grout. This one I am making is for a vivarium but I want to make one for my aquariums as well. Now I have seen people talk about fiberglass resin as a coating to make it fish safe. I am using a Poly blend satin varnish for the vivarium wall and plan on still soaking it just to be safe. My question is, can I use the same varnish for an aquarium background as well?


Here is the pic of the current one I am working on. This is my first one and I am planning on doing many things differently (design) on the aquarium wall. As you can see I have a fountian that will be running out from the top using a small sub pump.

Also I am using a Poly blend floor grout for the cement. I had seen it on a few videos and was told it would work but I'm not sure if it will work for an aquarium wall as well.
 
Thanks it's my first one and really want to get going on some for my other tanks.
 
wow thats impressive.
