No, this isn't a tank building question :cool:
I'm currently renovating a large 'basement' room. Most of the sheetrock is up, mudding is at a standstill because I've decided that I want to do a....err, unique thing with the walls ( all are sheetrocked, one is painted grey brick). I plan to make a stucco or a faux stucco finish on the walls. I haven't found much 'method' or tips for using real stucco indoors. As for faux stucco, all that really involves is laying down layers of joint compound in stucco fashion.
Nothing too complicated. But I have my heart set on setting up a large cichlid tank in this room (125-200g) and that would add a healthy bit of moisture to it's relative area, and the whole room in general I would suppose. Would stucco or the psuedo-stucco compound withstand the moderate levels of humidity that a tank would give off? I didn't think of it too much at first, but this is a serious problem ( if there is a problem).
Any and all advice is welcome ;) Thanks.
