HomeDepot sells a spray paint you can use on glass.
Man, I love the look of those rimless tanks. I just set one up for a buddy of mine who decided it was time to take the plunge into the hobby. The only downside (to me btw), the stand could've been taller.

I actually like the shorter stand... 1st with the LED's will not shine in my kids eyes as bad. And I have a habit of pulling my chair up to the tank and just staring at it. This will be much easier to do that with.

I think that I am going to paint it black. Some people say use Blue, but I just love the black! What kind of paint should i get to do it? Just regular old spray paint???

I did black latex. I feel the black let's the colors stand out more against it..and latex because it can easily come off with a new razor.

2 samples of home depot paint $5.

Today, I installed 2 of the baffles in the sump. Hopefully tomorrow I will install the other 2. I should have my pump this week and then I will drill the tank prob this weekend. My rock should also be here end of week. Ordered from reefrocks.net stuff looks nice. I will be sure to photograph it when I get it. I also ordered a piece of acrylic which should be done today for some custom rock work.

Yesterday I started some acrylic work for inside the tank. Info to come later on that. I also put another baffle in the sump, but ran out of silicone so picked up another tube.

I also picked up a BlueLine 55 High Pressure pump last night that I found on Craigslist, pump has never seen water. I also got a TLF Reactor (GREAT PRICES).

Today I am going to tweak the acrylic and finish the baffles. Hopefully rock should be in by the end of the week. Tomorrow might drill the sump.

Images to come shortly.
