I have used kryon fusion in my tank before as many have with no problems. The only thing I found is that over time if its IN the tank, it starts to chip off.

If you use two part epoxy paint it is safe. I made a few plywood tanks out of it and it worked great. Make sure to use it outdoors with excellent ventilation.
