if you can't scrub the algae off, give it a soak in something (light bleach, vinegar, lemon juice).
as for where to buy the paint, i would think all big hardware stores would carry krylon. call them if you want to be sure.

Ace hardware carries it, just picked one up, it was $4.97 or something like that. I know that lowes does not.
I guess I will let it dry overnight, disappointed though I wish I could just paint it and put it back in the tank a few hours later. I will try to post some before and after pictures after it is done. Thanks for the help everyone.

Sorry the tank looks kinda crappy, the glass is really dirty.
What does everyone use to clean their glass?
Mag Float.
I'm also one of those who cleans the back of the glass too (most people like the coraline look), and though it's tough to run a magfloat along the back of a 6' tank where there's only about 6" of clearance, I manage.
Btw, your tank looks nice!

are you guys serious ? there is no way i would have paint contacting saltwater in my tanks.
I was thinking the same thing,paint inside the tank!If you have anything painted that has been inside your tank for over a year I would like to hear from you.You see I was thinking of painting the overflows and any white pvc plumbing with black paint.It would be much cheaper than buying black pvc pipe[is it available in black?]and I think would look better,more stealth.

well it's been almost 4 months since you did this, can you give a report on how the paints (and the animals!!) are holding up?
I was thinking of doing this exact thing with the PVC that may be seen from live-framing my new 110. I was curious if there was a paint you could safely use INSIDE the tank, and I'm really hoping this worked for you!!! Do you have anything new to add now that the paint has settled for a few months?
