Hi Folks,
Hoping to get ideas on how to overhaul a large acrylic tank (or if it's even worth it).
It's a 125 high (60x18x24). The main issue is that the 'simplicity plus' integrated 'sump', which takes up about 6 inches of the width and creates odd corners in the tank that are prone to detritus build-up. Further, the false back panel hiding the filter is a very loud, bright blue. It isn't painted--the entire panel is blue.
Is it possible to cover up this background with a thin, false background? I read that internal paint is a no-go, and I am curious if anybody else has dealt with this or has any helpful thoughts. Ideally, I'd like the background to be black. I also thought about attempting to cut out the entire filter, but I don't know if that's feasible or advisable. I thought about building my own out of foam or rock arrangements, but that would completely negate any width available in the tank.
Thanks in advance.
