painting back and bottom.

[Cheifwalnut]

I'm going to be moving next week and I'm obviously bringing my fish . however I am tired of sand. I currently have a barebottom but it doesn't look all that great. I want to paint the bottom and the background. could I paint the back and bottom after I tear down the tank for the move? would it harm my fish to have it not fully cured? I planned on rolling it.

Ummm you paint the outside of the tank

Ummm you paint the outside of the tank

ROTFL!

well here's the plot twist. when I tear down the tank it's going in the back of my truck to the new house to get set back up. there's no time for it to sit and dry. I obvious know that I would have to physically paint it. I'm asking if it's okay to paint and then set back up 10 minutes later..

Yes it will be fine.

 

[Cheifwalnut]

would rustoleum protective enamel be fine?

 

[millerkid519]

Ya it will be fine. I would paint it right before you fill it back up

 

[Cheifwalnut]

I was planning on doing the back of it Thursday after work. and then the bottom before I set it back up

 

[millerkid519]

That would work perfect

I would do the bottom 1st then the back before you fill up/setup.
