I used just a noraml flat black spray paint from walmart. The cheapest one, i only had 4$ and there was a mcdonalds inside of the wally world , so i decided to get the cheapest spray paint , instead of the expensive glass one , and got a cheeseburger :headbang2

btw , rollers paint brushes , and foams are super hard to paint the tank with. They make thin streaks , you need heavy coats. Spray paint will work the best if that is not possible then go with a SMOOTH roller , fuzzy will leave the tank see thru where the fuz was uneven.

i cant believe we spary painted that tank inside my dads office ... haha , just so everyone knows i just turned 18 as of saturday .... ill try to get some videos of my dad going crazy about this going on in his office , hes like don vitto from bam margera , and terrified of water and fish ...:ROFL:

I've painted my tanks with latex paint, you have to do several thin coats because the roller picks up the paint if you try and do a thick layer.

o yea she does .... so does tank i guess too :ROFL:

alright guys tonight ill be putting sand in the tank and putting up a border around the bottom of the tank and sides to hide water damge that was done to the bottom rim , maybe toss on some new doors and maybe some plumbing , tune in tonight , and enjoy my run on sentences ....!
 
alright so home depo , pool store, walmart none of them have the sand i want.... i want the white beach sand and looks like i might have to drop quite a bit of cash on the sand..... :(

But i took care of the cheap lighting system
Redid the border around the bottom of the tank ( had massive water damage)
i had no tops for the tank , so i found some acrylic sheets laying around and took a jigsaw to them haha. I had no idea what i was doing..

ill post some of the pics in a sec
