Is there Aquarium Safe Paint?

[gmpolan]

I ask because i have an older oceanic with corner overflows and id like to paint the dorso pieces in the overflow since you can see them and the stand is back along with the entire back. Is there any aquarium safe paint that i can use? Thx...

I painted mine with krylon fusion, Its been running for 3 months with no probs

Its in a spray can kinda expensive but that have a special blend for plastics, I painted mine blue. You should be able to find it most places

Are you referring to the durso standpipe that is inside the tank, under water, and not the back of the tank? I am curious about this as well. Tagging along.

What about painting the acrylic? Probably need to scuff it up with some steel wool or something so it would stick.

On the label it says you dont have to scuff it I think i just wiped mine and hit it with a pot scrubber and painted it I've cleaned the drain like 2 weeks ago, its setup so i can just pull it out of the bulkead. None of the paint came off.

use some black privacy window tinting that you can get at home depot..

it should stick to the acrylic and you can pull it off anytime you want..
