Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

I was wondering if I should paint the back of the tank? I think I'll experiment with construction paper before it gets wet. I also thought about window cling.

Does everybody think this hard about a new build? So many things to consider. It's almost like building a real house.

I recommend you never get into house building. :eek:

I love old Victorians! Building a house and remodeling a house a two entirely different things.

I have a cover on mine and lost a clown fish to jumping.

I very much love things with character that need a little TLC to make them beautiful again. New houses would overwhelm me. I do well if I'm allowed choices of things, not free range. I like a challenge of making things "work" like retro fitting.

I used windo tint for mine, it came out nice. Piece of advice I got and I think it worked. I put nail polish top coat around the entire edge of the tint to keep water from getting under it.

I actually wondered what frosted glass would look like on the back.

unless you scrape the back what's the point of painting it or using a background?

And then sfin chimes in with logic!

I can't stand a coraline covered back glass... mine is perfectly clean and black.

I know some people strive for the coraline wall, and would be horrified to know I scrape tons of it off my glass.

more seahare eggs. Once a week this thing lays eggs. Good thing I dont have a second. I would be swimming in seahares.
