BuzzDaddy21 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hi all, this might sound silly but, is there any harm to painting the back and sides of a tank. (I`m thinking black.) I ask this because many moons ago I had 2 Discus and they somehow jumped out. I think someone startled them. Never did get any more and that discouraged me about having fish, plus other things. So fast forward 30years and will try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhicks101 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Paint the outside back and you’ll be just fine. Most people do that when they scape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne Brown Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Painting the outsides is just fine. You might want to use something like spray paint or acrylics, I just find them easier to paint glass with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is common practice to use the "like" or "thank" button to thank each person instead of referencing them individually. If you put your courser over this grey heart. This Should come up and you can pick which expression. The like is the blue heart and the thank is the purple trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Some people use window film instead of paint as it can be removed easily (paint obviously is not). Or this suggestion from Zenzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzDaddy21 Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Definitely liked all responses, Flumpweesel the window tint idea was interesting, so I got some and there is a learning curve for an old man 😀.Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
