[AquaticLife] Potted Plants
Yes, I’ve seen people decorate their clay pots with their substrate using aquarium safe silicone. I thought I had mentioned that but may have failed to do it. Steve explained that the decorating must be done first and allowed to cure for the recommended time before putting the decorated clay pot into your tank. I would roll the entire clay pot, rather than just the front so that you don’t have to worry about it from different angles.
Here is Chuck’s page on how he decorated his Paludarium. http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/46g_construct.htm He used regular spray paint to do some of his decorating and then coated the painted materials in clear epoxy to make it aquarium safe. If you decided to paint the clay pots, you would have to coat the inside and outside in epoxy since clay is absorbent and might leach if not sealed.
