    Hi Everyone
    I plan on setting up a themed aquarium for a kid, and would want to add some "special" decorations like a toy car or a figurine for instance...not yet sure what I will go for in the end, these are just examples.
    Is there anything I can buy that can make these aquarium safe. Ive heard that you get an epoxy that does the job. Has anyone done this before, and where can I find this?

    It's probably best to add decor that is specifically designed for a tropical fish tank

    A toy car may start rusting, and may also give off other toxins in the water.

    The toy car was actually just an example, maybe bit of a bad one, Im referring more to plastic figurines and so

    If the figurines are made specifically as toys for kids, they usually non toxic which, in turn would be safe in the tank as well
