I'm not sure we have that product in UK but I'm sure there's something similar

Evz, in terms of the acrylic paint, would you just cover up the base and top half with tape or something, so there's no room for error? Probably a noon question but eager to do it right :p

If it was me I'd use a paint brush to cut the edges in top and bottom if your tanks got trims that can't be removed ? Or if your not confident with a brush just mask it off with tape and use a bank card to smooth it down before painting so it doesn't bleed underneath ( hope that makes sense ? Lol ) then roll carefully as close as you can to the edges with foam roller
If your tank trims can be taken off the edges so its just the glass you can roll straight to the edge with out brushes or tape
If you do get it on a part you don't want it on either wipe it clean with a wet cloth or let it dry and peel it off

spray paint. It's cheap.
Acrylic paint goes further and is picked up just as cheap in the UK plus its much much easier to get off if you want a change
