Hi all. I changed my 20 gallon DIY AIO FOWLR into a fish only tank. I got an Instant Reef Ornament that claimed to have the color throughout but after a few months the paint started peeling on one piece and started disintegrating in another, not only showing white but making my firefish lose it's tail rubbing against it when it hides. I think I lost my scarlet hermit because of it too.
Needless to say, I am afraid that if I get anything different it will happen again. You hear so often of paint peeling off ornaments. Do you think I can spray any new ornaments with Krylon fusion and it will keep? I did that to a small bench for my freshwater tank but I know salt is harsher. The return for my salt was krylon fusion black 4 years ago and still doing well.
Looked great when I first got it.
The barnacle started peeling so I let the coraline coat it. The white crumbling is the pink brain and purple rock behind the firefish.
Anyone have any luck with certain brand of ornaments or do you think the Krylon Fusion clear will work?
Thanks for any suggesions
