Any Fiberglassers on here?

Recommended Posts

Wife has a new project, a 550 litre tropical fishtank!

It is bascially a marine ply box with glasss panels, and the inside has been fiberglasssed.

It is currently a lovely 70's aqua blue, but we want it black.

Talked to paint shops, fiberglass guy, fish forums etc, and consensus is to use Gelocoat, but knowbody can say 100% if it would be toxic to the fish !

Surely there is a special gelcoat for potable water for fixing watertanks ?

Any experience on here ?

Thanks

So you just want to change the colour?

Resene do a no toxic paint that may suit, its water based and you can drink it. Would need to seal over with a food grade epoxy id suspect.

or just go to a glass tank, they are cheap as chips if you know where to go.
