Yeah! Krylon! Not sure if Im using it much anymore but it was for the back of the tank. Thing is, I want to one day be able to use this tank as a room divider because it is drilled perfectly for one. If I paint the back black, that may not work so well!

Leave the option open. The back wall will get covered in coraline if you don't clean it anyway.

If you have access to a mitre saw, I have found that to be the easiest way to cut lengths of PVC using a standard rip/cross-cut blade.

As far as the background is concerned, I use black plastic posterboard slipped between the upper and lower frames of the tank. No mess and much easier to remove than paint.

Yeah the skimmer is a decent size but its that pump that Im still amazed by! Its huge! 300 watts too, so a LOT of power consumption. Hope it end up being worth it. I refuse to use powerheads this time around.

Hope the pump is fairly quiet
