Thanks Delphinus. Do you have any idea where I can get marine paint? Is it something I can just pick up at Home Depot or something?

Just speculating here, but I think anything oil based will be OK for the inside of the canopy... Latex based may not hold up to the humidity over time. I think ultimately, your best bet will be a white marine paint (basically the paint you would use to paint a boat hull). Or maybe some kind of pool paint (?)

As for the light blue on the back of the tank ..... if you paint the outside of the tank then I doubt it really matters what kind of paint you use. Spray paint enamel maybe, or latex, or oil, or whatever you prefer to work with.
