Speaking (typing) of...is it rubber specifically for the aquarium industry/marine applications? Do you know the brand most often used? I ask out of curiosity alone; the whole notion of a wooden tank is really interesting
Well as far as my research has gone it seems that it is typically used in the roofing industry and not specifically for aquarium keeping but i have found one company that boasts an absolutely safe non-toxic non leaching form of it which they sell for pong liners and plywood tanks. It is called rubberizeit (link below)
Im still unsure and have yet to read or hear anyone testimony on it for this reason I am still not going to do any building what so ever before I am absolutely sure a plywood tank will be forever and also not leach anything. If there is even a chance it leaches I wont build one because I cant be killing off octopuses. Because that is just not acceptable.
