kemst Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Also, if you are going to use additives - NEVER use PVA based materials (such as bondcrete). Failing that you could just buy some tile grout - it is already coloured! just make absolutley certain that it's not anti bacterial. or anti fungal, if it says for use in bathrooms and kitchens forget it A good point, well made. Most grout manufacturers will have grades without biocide. They are usually the ones for wider joints and marketed for "outdoors". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theosam Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Finally all paints have dried and silicon has cured! Here are some more pics of our D.I.Y. Backgrounds This is made for a small tank as a test run to see if the materials used are ok with the fish...

david11 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Looking great!! I cured my one for a week and wacked it in. I used Crommelin Waterproofing Pond Sealer to as the only paint etc. As far as testing goes, if this is all you used then you should be fine. I never lost a fish. Great finnished product.
