Background

[azandcs]

I know this is a question that everyone has an opinion about...
What color/shade would you paint on to your tank as a background?
I have a 200g show. 54L x 36W x 24D
i think i like 'rainstorm' from Sherwin-Williams for a background.
thanks

Good idea but I'm sure salt could creep down that and it would be tough to replace once set up.
I used Krylon ********-Exterior spray paint. It bonds really well to glass. I scrape tested a section and it's pretty tough. Easy to wipe off too. Comes in a lot of colors.

once the tint is dry on the glass the only way to get it off would be with a razor and hair dryer so i highly doubt salt could get in between the tint and glass
