Is that the way forward then is it good stuff an will it be okay in a tropical plywood aquarium ???

I’m not an expert. But countless people have used it and it’s 100% fish safe. There’s several YouTube tutorials online as well as some videos that pond armor made specifically for plywood aquariums.

Or this as it is much cheaper to the Pond Sheild/Armor...

Take a look at Max ACR. There are a good number of builds on this forum that have used it, I don’t recall any complaints. It’s also at a lower price point than a lot of options as well. I haven’t used it, but all of my reading so far leads me to think that’s the one I’ll be using when I do my tank.

How much did you use on your tank?

The general consensus seems to be pond armor, not only on this forum but on most tuitorials you'll see on line. Yes, others might do the job, and yes others might be a bit cheaper. But when it comes to preventing potential disasterous leaks on your build then you go for the rolls royce of the product and pond armor does seem to be that product.

I've looked at joeys you tube footage and it looks very easy to use. I know it's what i'll be using when i get round to building my plywood tank.
