    No, he meant DYE, as in add pigment.


    I know UScomposites sells pigments that you mix into the epoxy as you add the hardener to the resin.

    This might be plywood build #3 on 3reef. Obviously glass tanks are much more common. It is not the usual way of thinking, but I have plywood on my brain.

    I would consider making it a 5 sided instead of 3. You would have two sides against the wall, Instead of just the third, add two "wings" that come out square to the wall, then attach the front. If you make it a triangle, the front corners would be almost impossible to clean them.
