    C'mon Bud, 3yrs in the planning & $2500 later & you wanna use stick on background? Might as well throw in a sunken ship & skull w/crossbones too. ;D (don't forget the castle)

    Go with Krylon. You can scrape it off with a good paint scraper & new blade...no problemo. Blue is kinda cheezy.....go black. Especially if you're going to 'scrape' the coralline off the back glass, a black background will look awesome! ;)

    haha, Just about that much.

    I want to paint it. Dad doesn't...he's paying for it. But I don't see a problem with it. He says it's too permanent? I don't know why you would want to see through the back glass anyway.

    There sure is a lot of panning to go into this tank...
