I made a change to my tank today that I would like to show off a bit. I tinted the exterior glass on the back and sides with 35% vlt tint. I had some laying around I had bought to put on my car, until I decided that it was a pain to do yourself. Nice flat, square (or rectangle) glass is much easier. There are a couple spots that the tint didn't adhere to the glass quite right, but its only in the bottom corners.
I like that you can still see in from the sides, but when you look through the front pane you're not immediately looking at the light switch on the wall behind the tank!
The aquascaping, plants, etc. are all still a work in progress. The tank has only been up and running since Dec. 26 (and been through a couple changes already as we decided what we really want).
I am putting three pictures with the glass tinted and one from before it was tinted. The before picture also has less plants in the tank.
Anyways, enjoy.
