wow, it looks so... (insert word here) If i were you, i would paint the back while its empty, the crinkled up background will kind of draw away from the aquascaping

Well, I'm just trying it out. It'll be a while be4 I actually use it (seeding). Do you think I should paint it blue or black? Also, what kind of spray paint should I use?

 

[mfdrookie516]

any spray paint will do... imo flat black would be best, but any will work... just be careful not to scratch it, it might look wierd if you do

 

[Aquarium1]

So flat paint works best? Cuz I have some left over glossy from a previous project lol.

 

[mfdrookie516]

gloss will work fine, its just that personally, i think the flat makes it look better. its an opinion thing...

I think I'll just get a flat. I plan on selling my PS2 this weekend so I'll have $80 and I have a few things I'm thinking about getting at Walmart.

I'm curious are those GE aquarium bulbs any good? Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: GE Aqua Rays Fresh/Saltwater Fluorescent Bulbs I see them at Wal-mart a lot.

[mfdrookie516]

the ge daylight bulbs in the lighting section are just as good, and alot cheaper, thats what i have in all my tanks

 

[Aquarium1]

Ok. I'll take a look.

 

[mfdrookie516]

or phillips daylight bulbs... the aquarium bulbs are pinkish, and i doubt you would like that look

 

[Aquarium1]

Really? I did not know that. I'm glad you told me lol.

 

[Aquarium1]

I really want to start up this tank today but I forgot the black spray paint at Walmart .

 

[mfdrookie516]

the gloss will work, since you already have it... if you are just antsy and want it up today....

 

[Aquarium1]

idk, I mite google to see if I can find a pic of one with glossy.

 

[Aquarium1]

If I do, hopefully I can find a dry place to paint it with all this snow lol.
