I read in a few of the DIY background articles that they used acrylic sealers. I wasn't quite sure if it is necessary, but I am taking my time with this tank and wanted to cover my bases. I'd love to take it back...it was $18.00.
Hehe, if it were me (and it's not) and you were willing to take your time (and I mean LOTS of time) I'd skip the sealer and just cure the stuff. What sort of fish are you planning to keep, out of curiosity? If it's a soft-water species then I might rethink sealing the tank, but for hardwater species if you're willing to take the time to cure (or mostly cure) the background, I'd definately skip the sealer.
