    Hey Y'all,

    My Dad used to use a liquid to paint the outside back of his tanks that would crystalize. It made for an incredibly beautiful tank backing. I have a new, smaller tank (my 55 gallon sprang a leak :angry:) and I'd like to find this proudct. It was green and stank to high heaven while it was drying. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Does it still exist or has the EPA banned it? ::)


    Thanks!

    there is a paint called crackle or something like that that comes in 2 parts, 1 is the base color, and the second is a top coat that kinda cracks and peels as it drys revealing the base color leaving a cool pattern on the wall. if this is for a reef tank i wouldn't worry about it as it will be covered in coraline before you know it.
