now if your toilet was fed by RO i think i could rig up my tank to change water every time it flushed....

this is what the tank looks like right now. i painted the back of it bright white so i hope it gives me a good look with it. i did this to my nano and i love the way it looks but if i dont like it i can still get behind the tank to scrape it off and paint it a different color. any ideas on a good color other then white or black??

Blue looks really cool, and i think a purple pink or red would look cool, kinda mimiking the coraline algea? just got an idea!

Terry the tank looks awesome without the marble over flow, I had purchased the tank used and the guy before me had the marble to match his gravel (freshwater)

cant wait to see it filled with water and rock and fish and coral, lol.

BTW, all thats going to be by the weekend eh.. :razz:

haha i wish dude. i still have to get glass for the euro bracing and a new piece cut for the overflow. i need to get josh to get me some acrylic rod when he comes back up to red deer, i need a sheet of black acrylic to cover the overflow, i need to find some black egg grating, i still need to get the rest of my rock from greg, he has it running in a rubber maid if i remember correctly. lots of work dude lots of work

Looking great! I have a black background on my tank and find that I am battling trying to keep it religiously clean because it picks up green and purple coraline spots very easily :( I guess you can't really get away from that though. I wonder if white might highlight the coraline even more :lol:
