Painting Aquarium Back

[wdrury]

Hi all..
just got a new 125gal tank and i'm wanting to paint the back blue or some other color..i have african cichlids and i dont want to look into the tank and see the brickwall behind it..
What paint should i use?....how do i apply it..roller or brush or spray?
Or should i just use the backgrounds that u pay by the ft for?
if its paint i need something that will come off easy if i want to upgrade and sell the tank later.
thanks

you can use any paint, i stay away from spray paint because of its conical spray, itll get in the tank.


Use a roller or brush, brushes leave brush marks so maybe a roller 2 coats. all paint comes off glass easily, just need a razor blade and some water.


If you can mask it off well go ahead and use a spray paint but you gotta make absolute sure that the tank is sealed.
