I'm not sure your reasons to not paint it.... but just a thought here: I used flat black latex paint on mine -- rolled it on with a 4in roller - 3 coats. I used latex _just in case_ I ever wanted to remove it. The latex will peel off the glass with no problem if I ever decided to get rid of it.

take a piece of plexiglass 1/8 or 3/16 th , measure the back of your tank includeing the trim. velcro the trim of the back of the tank- paint the plexiglass with FUSSION SPRAY PAINT its made by krylon design for plactic( make sure you you dust the paint on not heavy coats, light coats.
It comes out great **
good luck
