Ok I like the paint idea. Just any kind of black paint?

 

What type of filtration and oxygen do you have for the tank?

I have lots of stuff to keep my water quality good, but I know what you guys mean about windows. I have no where else to put my 75g tank, and it's not like we can move it again anyways. But it is right infront of my front door, and everytime I open the door it scares the fish and if I forget to close the blinds then light shines on a little portion of it. What a pain!

 

I have a Fluvia 405 fillter and one power head.

 

I am just going to leav my tank where it is and work on painting the side and back and getting beafyer shades on my window,. . . . The wife will love that lol!
