well I got the idea from that auction...well I think this would be a great idea it would be like a backround but theres only darkness you can still see the front but there will be less algae on the back,right and left side.


List Of Item's

1. black Heavy-duty garbage bags

2.Transparent Heavy-Duty tape(ONLY USE THIS OPTION IF TEMPORARY)

3.Transparent Silicone(ONLY USE THIS OPTION IF PERMERMANT)

4.1 piece of rectangular glass(MEASURE THE BACK SIDE OF YOUR TANK)

5.2 pieces of square glass(MEASURE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES OF YOUR TANK)

6.Paper shredder



Instruction's:

Cut the garbage bags to desired lenght with the paper shredder.Applie the the garbage bag to all 3 rear sides of your tank(Use a ruler to avoid wrinkles and crinkles on the tint).Applie the tape or silicone to the ends of the tint.Attatch the extra pieces of glass to the adhesive's.




And now you have tinted windows for your aquarium:-)DONT GET CAUGHT BY THE POLICE hah.gif rofl3.gif

I did the same for my tank, but I went to an auto store and picked up tint for the car. I just choose the darkest tint. I think its limo or something like that. Follow instructions. This way you don't have to worry about the extra tape around. I also have eco complete on the bottom (basically black gravel). It really brings out the tank. I'm thinking of putting in spot lights to highlight too. But I need to think of a way to ask my wife. rofl3.gif
