I'm not familiar with Seal Krete -- it may very well be of concern. Does it have a list of ingredients, or other warning labels?

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.brianmccord2001 said:Rick_Lindsey
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.
It is going to be a cynotilapia afra "jalo reef" tank. I got tons of time to get it up and running...what exactly is the curing process?Rick_Lindsey said: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.
