Ya iust do that then. You'll like it way better than acrylic.

New plan is to use the half inch acrylic thats ready. Already slotted also. Going to use glass braces on the inside. Going to paint the acrylic with Krylon Fusion black, which it seems many use in their tanks.

Why are you going to paint the acrylic?

Doug · #35 06-10-2015, 02:47 AM

Its clear acrylic.

Oh. It won't stick long-term. It will wear off. I've done that too.

Cutting board or starboard or whatever its called. The bottom in the tank.

My newly drilled and designed BA overflow.

Now to work on the overflow walls itself. Using two pieces of 10mm glass cover by 6mm black acrylic..
