Would Krylon Fusion spray paint have any bad effects if it was put on PVC that was submerged in a reef tank? I'd like to hide the plumbing as much as possible, and apparently this paint fuses to plastic.

Chris I wouldnt do it man. too risking with all the metals in the paint anyways . try getting some cement mix a bit up like the pure powder and water and slap it on and let it dry and soak for a week in fresh water and instant hide a pipe.

Not sure about spray paint and but seen pictures of a tank where the guy painted the pipes and fittings with purple primer.

From what I've heard on RC the Krylon Fusion is fine.
A fare amount of people have used it without a problem.
Just make sure to let it cure properly.
I have the inside part of my mag-brush with a veggie clip glued on it painted black with the krylon.
No ill effects that i can see.

Yeah, I read that on RC.com too, but the stupid search function never wants to work so I couldn't verify it...

Thanks!
