Covering the back overflows

[Tom R]

You could use some of the corrugated plastic that signs are made of. Probably available at Home Depot or any sign shop.

Would that not break down over time?

Why not just a black or blue piece of acrylic?

[spoot]

You could use eggcrate. Then string chaeto through it. When the chaeto fills out, it will look like a hedge.

What the builder did on mine was simply silicone 1/8" black acrylic sheet around the overflows.

Ever think of making a background?

Corplast (corrugated plastic) would work fine. I have used it to cover overflows or as an inside background for years in saltwater and not had a problem over time. It does not break down. I also use it quite often for a background. I silicone it to the back glass (outside) to prevent salt creep or water stains from getting on the back glass.
