Painted tank!

[Sharoane]

I came across a post here earlier this week where someone talked about painting the back of a tank instead of using a background--there were even great pictures--and decided to try something similar. So, I picked up acrylic paints that were meant for glass and painted some plants and rocks and backed it all with a very light silver/gray color. It looks great!

I'd post photos but my digital camera and my computer aren't getting along right now.

Yes! That was the thread--I loved the results and would have gone with blue here but couldn't find it at the store. They had every color but.

I paint the backs of all my tanks. They range from black to shades of blue and green. I have to say I like it better then the paper kind.
