Beautifying bare bottom tank

[Delapool]

I will say this: I used Valspar ancient ruins stone (about $10) on my first tank and then the Rustoleum version (about $5) on the second; and the Valspar has more flecking and speckles, the Rustoleum is smoother looking and less speckling. I think the Valspar looks far better.

Do you still get much reflection afterwards? It's mainly the mirror-like effect that bugs me at them moment.

This is not a good picture - but as you can see there is no reflection.

One thing about painting the bottom is that if you decide to use substrate again in that tank it makes no difference - I hate it when I do something and then hate it and then I'm stuck with it!

That does look pretty nice. Thanks for the tips
