Krlyon works great for reef painting.

The doors are plastic. That's pretty common on these old tables. The top and sides are veneered particle board and plywood. I would love to go lighter, as most the wood in our house is quite dark.

My only options are paint, or to touch up the existing colour (which really doesn't look good with the aquarium).
