ironlak spray paint is the best stuff for tanks the only problem is this paint is hard to get and that whenver you want to take the paint off you will have a problem

Use to work for Ben Moore so I would just grab interior wall paint there. Figured it would be easier moving the tank a few inches from the wall and using a mini roller rather then taking the tank somewhere out of the livingroom to spray it. Used Fusion for pvc parts that were going to be submerged.

I would rather take the time to roll on paint than risk over spray anywhere. I used a 70% flat Black and 30% forest green and it came out awesome.

Depends on if you want permanent or not. Spray, epoxy are permanent on acrylic while roll on latex is not and can be removed if you change your mind and want somthing diferent later on.
