thats my question also. I know that it cant be applied directly to the wood but what about using it to paint the fiberglass resin that is applied... so a few good coats of resin and cloth and then use the fusion to paint it..........

I would not, no way that stuff is as tough as a 2 part epoxy, I would think that it would be ok or even ideal for something like a removable overflow, or rock structure maybe even a background. The epoxy paint you use on a plywood tank helps protect the tank against gouges from rocks, etc. and is a permanent part of the tank, also this stuff has only been around for a few years, how long will it hold up, and in what type of conditions no one knows.
When in doubt call the manufacturer and ask them, I would be willing to bet the Krylon people would not recommend this paint for that application (interior tank wall paint)
what about if you did 3 layers of fiberglass resin and cloth? wont that be waterproof? and then just use the fusion for its color?
The fiberglass does not need a coating, the paint is just for looks, you have to think of the permanence of what you are doing. imagine spending about 100 + man hours on a large plywood tank, carpentry work, laying up the 3 layers of fiberglass, sanding, getting everything perfect, placing your glass and then painting the inside with cheap (pretty much untested) paint. That is kinda crazy. What if 5 years later it started to chip off? the tank would have to have the inside sandblasted to get all that paint off so another type of paint could be used. spend the extra $100.00 use a 2 part epoxy paint suitable for potable water tanks or something that is designed specifically for aquarium use. People have been building plywood/fiberglass tanks since the early 1980's, 2 part epoxy paint has been tried and tested many times.
I personally would not use that stuff on anything that i would not hesitate to throw away, if it started to chip, degrade in the water, or whatever.
my 2 cents
