I want to cover the bare concrete floor in my fish room. Always have random spills that sometimes creep under the wall to the carpet. Also want to protect the cement. About 64 square feet to work with. Also my 250g display tank will be up and running at this time. Plan is to separate the tank and back room with a wall(s) of plastic and use my ceiling exhaust fan. From all of my research I'm down to two options
1) Two-part epoxy. Expensive. Also worry about the toxins in the air, even with plastic separation and a fan. Also heard it could be slippery.
2) Waterproof, interlocking vinyl planks. Saw this on BRS TV (Ryan's dream tank) and instantly thought no way b/c of the chance for water to get in the gaps. But it keeps coming up as a viable option. If I seal the edges around the whole 8x8 floor will the seals between the planks keep water out? Looking at "waterproof" vs "water resistant"
Am leaning towards the epoxy since the price is about the same just need to be sure about toxins in my display tank
