I'm looking to build a 90 gallon plywood tank. I've read a few different websites and got the plans from garf.org. I'm wondering what I can coat the inside in.
On the gard website it says to use either Rustoleum brand "9200" system epoxy or Sherwin William brand Epoxide HS Tank Lining.
Now I can't find anywhere online that sells either of these products.
However I did find Epoxy Paint by Aquatic Eco-System. http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategories ... %20Paint/0
But at $60 a gallon it doesn't seem too worth it to me.
Any suggestions from anyone that has done this kind of project before? I'm looking to save money in this project otherwise I know of somewhere I can get a whole 55gallon setup with stand for $275.

Wow. I'm a aquarium store dumpster diver and I've seen stands just for the taking. Have you tried the classifieds for an aquarium with stand? You can get a new 55 galon without stand for less than $100.00 I think.
