I can never find Krylon Fusion.. I've tried Home Depot, Rona.. Maybe Canadian Tire would have it?

Walmart usually has it.

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.

Are there any Home Hardware's in Calgary anymore, except for Chesney's?

Canadian Tire here in Stoon sells Krylon so I would assume same deal for CT in Calgary. The key is surface prep, you'll want to use a fine scrub pad to remove all the gloss from the PVC, then the paint should last as long as the tank does. Another alternative is ABS primer but it's only available in purple which does however mimic coralline quite well.
