Decided to paint the inside of the stand with a bottom side boat paint. Took four coats to actually look good.

stand upstairs in the living room

and inside with the doors open

Rust-Oleum Marine Coatings or some other marine enamel?

 

[Joe0813]

I originally got the rustoleum from home depot but I didn't like the way it was drying. it would bubble and leave spots. So I went to a actually marine retailer that sells boat equipment and supplies and got a can there. It rolled a lot better and ended up looking nicer

Good to know, how much did you end up buying and using for the four coats?

 

[Joe0813]

I bought 2qts.. I only used about a quarter of the second can

just got a present in the mail from BRS .... Ordered a Apex and a leak detection module

finally done with the reinforcing the floor and having a electrician come in and put in two 20 amp designated circuits for the tank. tomorrow I will start to break down the tank so I can move it to the new house

thank you... unfortunately we aren't staying in this house. when we bought it we were never told our property was almost all wet lands. In Massachusetts you cant touch any of the land. so now we are going to wait it out for a year or two until I get into the elevators union and then sell the house.
Good thing about selling is the next house we get we are building. which means way bigger tank . Wife already agreed to a 500 gallon so hurry up union
