Mirrored perspex

[Toongraeme]

Ok, so I've got my new tank built into a recess. Only problem I have is that the sides of the tank are clear and all the wires and fans can be seen and it looks ugly!!! I was thinking of ways to cover it and thought of getting mirrored plexi on the sides. I thought this would add more depth (well width) to the tank. Has anybody else done this and if so did it work as well as you thought?

Whilst writing this I've just thought maybe just mirror one side and paint the opposite side black?

Thoughts please.....

Thanks!
