Can Anyone confirm if Krylon Fusion is safely submersable?
 

Is it true that Krylon Fusion paint is ok even on the inside of aquariums? I've heard lots of stuff stating that it is ok, and not much on the negative side. I would really like to paint my overflow instead of plastering it with acrylic if I can get away with it.

I was asking someone else this exact same question yesterday and I'd love to know as well. The only downside to Krylon, if it is reef-safe, is that is can be scratched fairly easy. I've been wondering if there are any reef-safe adhesive-backed black vinyl sheets that could be used for the same purpose.

Iv used it for extented times with no ill effects

(flat black)

yes. I've done it many times - no ill effects observed.

So both of you have used it inside your tanks?

Both my standpipes inside my overflow are painted with Krylon Fusion, been that way for over a year and not a problem.

used it inside my tank (on plumbing and some baffles ) and it was fine.

I use it on PVC pipes inside the tank.

Yes inside, I painted a diy overflow black.

thanks for the info... i started a thread looking for paint safe to use on foam for a terrerium and this answers my questions..

Sweet! Overflow is now black! Thanks guys.

Pic? Just don't try and scrape it.

I used it for my return pipes which where submersed, only problem was my urchin could take it off but other than that no problems.

Ya, I have it on a white PVC plug. Urchin has it most of the way scraped off now.

Hey Mike let me know if it starts to peel off the glass, I have seen it used on PVC but I know that it bonds well to plastics im not sure about glass and longevity though

Cant wait to see I need to figure out what to do with my Overflow Box

I've used it many many times on the outside of tanks as a background color, and it was amazing, dosn't chip, peel, flake or anything. Also goes on really easy and dries fast.

I used it on an all-in-one nano tank this time. I have a partitioned section with baffles and return pump etc. It was clear acrylic, so I painted it all black. Only time will tell if it is any good. I can imagine that rocks and stuff will scratch it off easily. But hey, right now it looks killer lol.

yep, in just about every tank I've ever set up.
