HELP! To paint or not to paint?

[Rbacchiega]

there's a thread on RC somewhere where the guy does something similar, but then he even backlights it so it looks like you're laying on the bottom of the reef and looking up towards the surface.

Having said that. I have one tank that's got a blue background and have one that was built with a black one. I love the black. All my tanks will be done this way in the future

All my tanks are black too. I like black.

It's kinda funny. My tanks black, I thought long and hard before I painted it. Now, once the coraloine has grown on it, I think I wnat a Blue background LOL. Tanks appear larger to me with a blue background.


Maybe its just that your never happy with what you got LOL

I used a sheet of acrylic from Home Depot painted it blue and use velcro to hold it to the tank. It is still translucent and it kind of glows with light behind it.
