Hello all I wanted to see what paints and seals you have used and would recommend for painting artificial rocks and art for in your tanks.

krylon fusion has been reported to be reef safe by many as long as you give it plenty of time to off gas and cure properly. No paint and dunk 24hrs later. I have used it myself.

Nobody reports problems with it. But id be hesitant.
Thank you, I need To find a liquid paint option too. I am determined to finally make a fake reef rack that actually looks like real live rock in your tank. I am so sick of seeing the prices on these super fake looking racks. They are all flat, overly purpled Or only one or two colors which are not true to life
