Paint it black with large shark teeth around the top, bottom and sides.

See if the fish notice.

I agree thae black backround looks nice and it helps hiding all the stuff we need in our tanks too, because most everything is black already. I got lucky when I got my tank that it was made with a black backround on it.

Mine is in the process of glazing over with Coraline algae - I'm lazy.

ASH · 10-17-2007, 04:54 PM

Blondie it is already night where you are

I was just about to chime in and suggest this thing that pops on the top of a spray paint can and makes it easier to use, like a trigger. But I see you got that all taken care of!

This is going to be a fun project.

ASH · 10-17-2007, 08:44 PM

We're home now!!!! Getting everything set up.....should have pics up in an hour or so.

AQTCJAK · 10-17-2007, 08:46 PM

still waiting

ASH · 10-17-2007, 10:13 PM

OK....finally done. We didn't use the spray paint because it rained once again today. I used the same paint that he used on his 110gal and seemed to work great.

Here's the first coat.....(did I tell ya I'm a horrible painter lol)

Last coat

The base in my house.

Robert putting his rocks in there.....we're not adding our right now.

Almost done!!!

Done and Done
