This info is Gold! Not sure how many know about this.


There is a product that can be painted onto surfaces to make a pond of any shape, ect. to make it completely waterproof! I am going to make a very big in-closer out of wood, and then paint both the dry side, and the big water feature out of this stuff. The process is this.... you use an oil based stain on the wood, then tape off with the tape you can also buy from them any seams or crevices. Then you paint on this stuff double thick as it says for concrete. It will then harden into a hard pond liner! you can shape it anyway you want. For me, I will make an easy sloping transition from water to land, so its easy for him to get out! and since the dry side will also be waterproof, I will plant his plants, and his very africa looking grass and be able to water it, any run off will simply get caught by my canister filter! Talk about easy. I can make caves with the stuff with wood and then paint this on to make it waterproof to hide plants and let them drape into the en-closer.


If anyone wants the link to the product, just let me know, I'm designing my tank right now, I think I'll make it about 10 feet long by 3 feet high by 5 feet deep. since its out of wood, the price will be really cheap to make it! Best part, if you ever get a leak, you can just paint over with this stuff, its used to repair ponds, so no problem there! Anyone else as excited as me about this stuff? or is it just me?
