Sanded and coated the foam with one coat of epoxy. Doesn't look too bad.
Mumma.of.two said:So I just broke the glass lid to the tank. Crap! That's the second time I've done that now. Bought a light today. It's a 20w t4 and fits perfectly but now I'm worried it could get wet and short out. The packaging states its strictly for indoor use only. I don't really want to spend any more money on lids for this tank. I could get some acrylic but it's so expensive. :/
Painted the foam brown like the frame. Doesn't look awful. Decided brown would be easier to match than the colour of the sand.

Mumma.of.two said:Great minds think alike Just got back from an aquarium manufacturer and he said he can make/cut me a new one for 16 bucks. Can't beat that! Thought I was going to be up for $50 worth of glass or something stupid.
Went on a shopping spree and spent WAY to much. Got a blue planet tank maid internal filter 700L/H.
The t4 light I got yesterday.
And some awesome wood I found at the aquarium makers.
