fish safe paint

[Yen]

I used 5200 Marine Fast Cure to I fixed a small very slow lead on the left upper inside corner in the back of my 55 tank. I used it because it was what I already have.
But it is white, now I have a strip of about 2" white in that corner. It's not very visible but you can still see it.

Is there any fish safe paint, so I can paint it to blue?

Thanks

Not to be terribly negative, but repairing a leak on a full tank is extremely risky business.
The ONLY proper way to repair a leak is to take the tank apart and reseal the entire thing. You have a disaster waiting to happen on your hands


I know of no reef safe paint. In time coralline algae will overgrown the area you are currently concerned with.

Thanks, Kathy. That tank is being set up, so there is no fish in it yet. I filled it and test run it, and saw a very small, slow leak from the very top corner of the tank, somewhere underneath the plastic frame, just one small drop per minute. By looking at the silicone inside, I guessed it was a bad seal at the very top. Had I had the water a little lower, it wouldn't have leaked

So I lower the water down half full and seal just that part. I won't have the water that high when I refill it anyway. I hope algea in time will cover it as you said
