Problem is the enamel is chipped and I have read somewhere that bitumen paint (non petroleum!?) can be used, if so are there toxic or non toxic to fish ones? |

looks like there is a fair bit missing... It might be better to just line it . C1 |

pond liner for food grade. Maybe, sure it wouldn't cost more than 30 bucks |

cool looks like it will do the job. just get some water in there and go! if you think there may be some risk to your health in some way, you can always have the water tested by the local water authority, they do it cheap here if you ask the right questions |
