I just set up my new 220 with back bottom and sides painted but after set up I want to remove paint on the side facing living room. How should I go about this?? Thinking careful razor blading it was spray painted on so its pretty thin but looks nice lol looked nice.
 
razor blade is the way to go..

however if its acrylic... be like.. extra extra extra careful and change blades often
 
As long as the tank is glass it's really easy:
Take some white vinegar and heat it up to almost boiling, put some paper towels in the vinegar, wring them out some and place them on the side of the tank, they should stick. Let them sit for a minute and then scrape the paint with a new razor blade, the paint should come off in sheets. If it starts to drag or come off in little pieces re-heat and do it again. I've done this many times, it is THE BEST and easiet way to remove paint from glass.
