love my reef
I want to paint the back of my new tank is there a special kind of paint or can I use anything
If your painting a tank with livestock, I think painting with a latex paint and a roller would be much easier. When setting up my tank I used spray cans and I think if I ever do another tank I'll go the paint and roller route.
Hi I know I'm new here but I read a article in TropicalFish the may issue. Its on page 52 Titled "You may not want to paint the back of your tank". The article does a study on the light reflected off the back of the tank comparing painted and tape on backing. According to the author James Fathere a non painted tank is 30% brighter due to the reflection off of the back glass. He recommends using a tape on backing or painting the back wall behind the tank. Just thought you would want to know it seems to be a pretty good study on the subject. Might want to look it up before going foward. I tried to get a link to the article but im not that good at that stuff saw its listed on the website www.tfhmagizine.com in the article archive but couldnt open it:grumble:
