For those of you that have used Krylon Fusion (for plastic) paint in your aquariums. How long do you let it cure before it is fish safe in the tank?
I've sprayed a plastic tray and let it sun cure for over a week then put it into a bucket of water for a week. It still has a slight paint odor to it. Do I need to wait longer or am I go to go? TIA

I think you're OK. You could soak it in a mix of white distilled vinegar and water (1:4 mix). Acetic Acid (vinegar) often will cure polymers. Also, it's not a bad idea to run an auxiliary filter with activated charcoal. Charcoal will adsorb the excess organics from the water.
