Rode my scooter to Home Depot and picked up some things.
2x sheets of plexy glass 18x24
1x can of spray paint
totally cost $36.38, so I paid with 2x $20 dollor bills and on the receit she said I only paid $37. So they, ok she, stole $3. So life lessen #52 "ride you scooter to a home improvment store and let they steal you cash without a)yelling at them b) swearing at them c) thank them."
Got some pictures for you guys, and Jas1 I am talking to you.

Going to do more coats. The new can really made a big difference on not seeing light from the other side.

Well it really looks good now. The second can did a great job and covering up the spots were light woud shine though from the first can. Enjoy, and that means you to Jas.

Not including corals.

Yeah and......Were you expecting this to be cheap

 

[melypr1985]

you need to learn how to shop fishkid! maybe you can shave a little off that total!

my lfs has a back room where they keep stuff that people traded in or sold to them when they took down their tanks. you can usually find something really good at a great price, and all it needs is a cleaning or a small part. worth a try right? just my oppinion.
