I am hoping that after a few fills and washes, the paint particles will 
stop. I think they were where the epoxy was coming off. I don't intend 
putting anything living in there as long as there is still stuff coming 
off the background.

Trouble is that I can't reach most of the background. The tank is a 24" 
cube, so reaching the bottom is quite difficult. Due to all the nooks 
and crannies in the background, there is no way I could reach most of it 
with epoxy now. I don't think I could get the background out again 
either. I really stuck it in well !!

Thanx for the reply. Any more comments appreciated.
