Yeah…this new tank will be pinned (basically) against the wall on one long side …won’t be cleaning that side or the overflow/return side

That’s my biggest issue… even if those two sides of my tank weren’t against walls; the mirrors themselves mean I cannot use a magnetic glass cleaner, and most off the shelf options are disappointing at best!

— I ended up making my own!

That would be both very cool and FAR beyond my artistic skill set

I know looks can be deceiving, but actually it looked easy. My issue is envisioning it before starting and what has to happen first to make it work. He also had a step by step gradient one he did started at the top of the tank with a whitish color blended that with a light blue covering the lighter color at the top blended that with a darker blue again covering the first 2 layers and so on to the bottom. It looked nice when done a little more flat than some of the others that look almost 3d. I'll see if I can find it again I had thought it was in my saved file but I dont see it.

Sounds like if you know what you are doing it could look great. If not, it could look awful.

Oh yeah the guy is a professional artist or tagger or some sort of spray paint wizard. A couple he used some sort of stencil on and made rocks and roots or wood. Again its useless if like me you dont clean your back glass. If I had a tank that was not already painted or had a homemade background on it I would try an easy one.
