epoxy for building an aquarium-I made this!-3reef Forums

Ice · 08-19-2005, 06:24 PM

Right now i have 180 gallon glass aquarium and i know some people have built their tanks with wood and sealed it with epoxy paints or coatings of some kind, Iwas just wondering if your everyday Benjamin moore 2 part epoxy paint would work or if there is a special type of epoxy for this

thanks

plywood tanks are usually built using a 2 part marine epoxy that is used in the boat industry i am considering buildign a large one myself and am taking examples from one I found on RC

plywood tanks are't really worth it unless u are going fairly large though
