It looks realy cool!!! I have a question though. Does it help the fish in the tank?? Or is it just for your own looks? Right now I am a month and a half into setting up a 29g and it just has a clear back. Should I be thinking about painting the back of my tank??

If you really want to paint your tank with quality then you should put a little more effort. You should empty your tank first before paint it.

I am not too sure if it helps with them or not. I just like it cause it hides the cords and such. and it makes the coral stand out more in my opinion.

Damn why cant I see most of the pictures that people post? Is it cause im new?
 
Anyways are yall just talking about painting the outside of the tank on the back?

I just got done painting my 165 gallon yesterday. I will add some pictures later. Since I took them off my iPhone at the moment.
 
I am just waiting to get one of my buddies to help me turn it around. But, right there is fine at the moment.

man that looks great. Wish I would of painted mine but I can't now. To close to my fall.

so, do you guys clean the back of your tank? It only seems to take a few months and my back is so covered in algae (hopefully coraline) that it would not matter if the back was painted or not.

I leave the back and sides, free fish food. No it doesn't matter if it's painted, eventually coralline is on everything.

I also don't clean the back and sides. my LMB loves eating junk off the glass.

Looks great! I love the black.

Great work Jess and Nizz. That dual tone looked pretty cool. Would all be a waste of time unless you kept it clean. I went with black because meowzer told me I had to. Its all but covered with stuff now.
