Yet people trust it for their kitchens and bathrooms, where they prepare food for human consumption, soak in bath tubs, etc.

I lined the inside of my stand with mold & mildew resistant caulk too. With so much moisture and water in there, there's bound to be a chance of mold growth over time. I'm not going to risk mine or my family's health over a fish tank.

Last I heard, spray paint's kind of poisonous too. *shrug*

We're talking about painting the back of the tank on the OUTSIDE. I certainly hope nobody is painting the INSIDE of the back panel??? Besides, how often are the chances of someone wiping their hand on the back against the paint, and dipping it back into the tank?
