Type of paint
Hello.. I'm semi new, but after over a year away from saltwater I'm back again. I have a stand and canopy that I need to paint. I have it in my room, so what type of black paint can I use to paint that will be safe to use indoors?

I would not use paint with anti fungal properties in it, also if you use a oil base paint let it off gas before you fill it water.

If you're going to drill the tank, drill it before you paint it. I think the foam roller did a better job in coverage than the knap - only 3 coats instead of the 5 I had to do with knap.
