I just ordered a Tenecor and they said to would look crappy with a piece of black acrylic on the bottom. The reason I was told is because you would be able to see the glue between the front and side panels where the black panel was installed, since the black panel would be just a lamanate.

I was told to paint the bottom.
Don't paint. Buy background paper in black color and put it on the stand before you put your tank. If you can find someone who sell vinyl paper (usually can be found at shop that made sign), it's even better. It has glue on one side, so you can just stick it to outside bottom of the tank

Not sure if it true or not but I have read somewhere that if you put a background on an acrylic tank, the tank will have crazing from the background.

:eek::eek: I hope not!!! :eek::eek: My 180 has black background on the bottom. My 150 has black vinyl. It looks better with the vinyl, because less bubble

Hey Amigo,

I know how much you love your armatus! Can't wait to see this setup finished.

Good luck with it, I'm sure it will look fantastic and I can't wait to see your monsters in it!
