After viewing McEve's website and some of her wonderful tanks, I have decided to make my own sculpted background out of polystyrene/styrofoam with caves built in and fixed with 100% silicone adhesive.
The guides I have been reading so far, mention products mainly available in the US. Can any of you, more local, fishy dudes advise me of the type/brand of paint and/or sealant I can buy in the UK that would be safe in a tank to help me recreate a rocky background?
Thanks all

I made a background out off styrofoam once (20 yrs. ago ) and i did paint it then with blackboardpaint , back then it was available in black, green and brown.
Don't remember the brand though.
I was told then this was the best paint to use, maybe there is some people to confirm this?? cause it's a long time ago...
