Sometimes dangerous bacteria nest in the water and endanger the fish population. Then the aquarium must be cleaned laboriously. However, epoxy resin protects the sealed surfaces from potential pathogens. It massively improves the water quality by keeping harmful influences away.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> Even the moisture that would normally attack the design elements after some time can be effectively combated in the aquarium by sealing with epoxy resin. Used correctly, epoxy protects all surfaces from the cool wet.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> Moss has no chance against epoxy in the aquarium &#8211; it keeps all surfaces sealed with it free of unwanted plants. This is a great advantage for the owner of the aquarium, as he does not have to clean it extensively.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> Another advantage is the high UV resistance of the epoxy resin. Especially if your aquarium is located in a particularly light-flooded room, it is an advantage to protect the surfaces with a suitable agent. This can be epoxy, as it keeps harmful UV rays away from the sealed surfaces.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> Furthermore, epoxy is not only scratch-resistant, but also impact-resistant and resistant to all animal excrements and is therefore ideally suited to withstand high loads. The surface of the hardened epoxy resin is completely smooth and can therefore be easily disinfected or cleaned if necessary.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> The last big advantage is the compatibility with various additives such as fillers and colorants, because with the help of these you can create the most diverse landscapes the way the user wants them. Whether you want to form a smooth or a seemingly moss-covered rock face, dark stones or light chalk cliffs or maybe even one or the other statue &#8211; everything is possible with the right epoxy resin for the aquarium, some styrofoam and a skilful hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Suitable epoxy resin<\/h2>\n<p>Special <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/en\/guide\/resin-terrarium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terrarium resins<\/a><\/strong> are offered, which are perfectly suited for sealing surfaces. They are also a good choice for the aquarium.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, they are much more expensive than the common laminating resins. However, they are completely sufficient for sealing in the aquarium, because cured they not only have all the positive properties of a terrarium resin, but are also non-toxic. They do not emit any harmful substances that could harm aquatic life in any way.<\/p>\n<p>You can therefore easily use a commercially available laminating resin, which can be applied with a brush:<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.asa2_horizontal_box {background-color:#ffffff !important;border:1px solid #c9c9c9;

However, the user can benefit from epoxy resin on polystyrene when building an aquarium. Styrofoam can be easily modelled, coloured and then sealed with epoxy resin. The epoxy resin does not attack the styrofoam and it keeps its shape.<\/p>\n<p>But other materials can also be sealed with epoxy resin. For example, the resin is also ideal for sealing wood. In this case, however, you should pay attention to the consistency of the epoxy used, as it is available in both thin and thick-bodied versions. Your choice depends on the material to be sealed. If this is porous, an epoxy system with a high penetration force should be chosen. Medium and high viscosity epoxy resin systems, on the other hand, are particularly suitable for smooth surfaces.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #00b7d5;\"><strong>Apart from that, epoxy is in principle an all-rounder, which unfolds its positive properties on almost all materials.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6948 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy.jpg\" alt=\"aquarium epoxy\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy.jpg 848w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-262x175.jpg 262w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-162x108.jpg 162w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-epoxy-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Instructions for the sealing of objects in the aquarium<\/h2>\n<p>Sealing objects with epoxy resin for the aquarium is not witchcraft. Even if you are a rather inexperienced craftsman, you will succeed with our step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Mixing Epoxy Resin<\/h3>\n<p>First you have to mix the epoxy resin according to the package insert. Make sure that the correct mixing ratio of resin and hardener is used. If this is not observed, the curing may be insufficient. The resin will remain sticky and cannot develop its positive properties; in addition, harmful substances may be released. Epoxy is only harmless when fully cured.<\/p>\n<p>Put the resin and hardener in a large container and stir thoroughly. If necessary, you can repot the mixture and stir again to make a particularly thorough mixture. Remember to brush along the edge and bottom of the container several times to ensure that the two components are perfectly mixed.<\/p>\n<p>After mixing, the so-called pot life begins. Now you should work quickly, because this is limited. Afterwards the epoxy resin is hardened and cannot be processed further. In case of doubt you should always mix only a little epoxy and later, if necessary, more of it. The cooler the room in which you work, the longer the pot life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Applyng by Brush<\/h3>\n<p>Now apply the epoxy resin with a brush to the surfaces to be treated. These can be different rock formations or objects for the aquarium, but also flat structures or a back wall. These were previously modeled from polystyrene and <a href=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/en\/guide\/epoxy-paint-for-tile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>coated with tile<\/strong><\/a> adhesive to create lifelike landscapes or objects.<\/p>\n<p>When sealing with epoxy resin, make sure to apply a thin layer to avoid unsightly lumps on the surface. However, each area should be thoroughly coated with the resin to ensure that the sealant is applied correctly. This is followed by the curing phase.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Observe curing time<\/h3>\n<p>Once the epoxy resin is fully cured, it no longer releases any harmful substances. However, the difference between the drying phase and the curing phase is important. The latter takes considerably longer. Only when this has been observed should the surfaces sealed with epoxy resin be used in an aquarium. It is best to follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that the curing time can vary considerably depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. If in doubt, it is better to give the epoxy resin a little more time &#8211; the health of your fish will thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin.jpg\" alt=\"aquarium safe resin\" width=\"848\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin.jpg 848w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-262x174.jpg 262w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-162x108.jpg 162w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aquarium-safe-resin-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Safety instructions for working with epoxy resin<\/h2>\n<p>When working with epoxy resin, disposable gloves as well as a breathing mask and, if necessary, safety goggles must be worn.
