bare bottom tank question

[stevenrox]

how do people keep their bare bottom tank colored?

paint it or put colored vinyl paper under it

^ best paint it if your sure you know what color you want. use vinyl if you plan on changing it. but i reccommend painting it black... looks nicer.

 

[SnaKeheAdSrAwSomE]

exactly, if you're gonna eventually change it use vinyl paper, if u want it for a long period of time, paint it.

if i paint it on the outside would i still get that barebottom "glare"?

 

[SnaKeheAdSrAwSomE]

nope, at least i don't think so. it should look matte black, if you're using black paint

alright thanks everyone

no problem

at an angle, the bottom will show a little reflection. but its nothing that should have you thinking of other ways to color your bottom. use a latex paint, itll take a couple coats but it peels off clean and easy.

I only use Mac Tac. It's plastic and adhesive on one side. It's usually use in kitchen cabinets. Great for tanks background. Easily removed with no dirt on the glass. Can be found in all home renovation stores. I would never use anything else.
