JPEE 15 Report post Posted April 21, 2019 Hi, Happy Easter everyone! I'm looking to start a white tile bottom fish tank and was wondering if anyone could recommend me a type that they have been using? A link from Bunnings would be appreciated. Thank you!

Stevil 17 Report post Posted April 23, 2019 No experience with tiles in an aquarium. However I am a licensed builder and have done my share of very large water features. I would be going with a fully-vitrified (porcelain) tile and epoxy grout. Normal grout is cement based and not suitable for immersion, normal grout is cement based and will be alkaline also. Glazed clay-biscuit tiles have high water absorption and are not suitable for immersion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
