spray paint or latex?
What is the best thing to paintget the back of your tank with? I used latex on my 20 and if it gets bumped by a filter it scrapes it. I'm starting an 11 gallon Rimless and would like for this not to happen.
Thanks |

The black background that they have at the LFS? It's real easy to remove...

Dr. Reef at ur service

i use the darkest mirror tint for car windows, buy it in roll by the feet. it gives an exact mirror effect looking into the tank and reflection of ur reef makes the tank looks twice as big and beautiful.
